Agnosticism Discussion Options

[xblast196]

I'm agnostic in my beliefs about god and all that, but my friends seem less than convinced.

my christian friends try to convert me,
my athiest friends try to convince me further,
and my other agnostic friends are the same way.

quite frankly, we're stumped.


if you dont know what agnosticism is-

basically it says that we would believe in god if there was more proof. we arent denying there is a god, but simply put- there's more evidence basing all of the scientific theroies as opposed to the bible- so we tend to believe in science over god.

^I was mostly being rude and disrespectful by adding that. Some people I actually can respect because I know they're intelligent enough to have chosen their own way of life, but they still choose to follow Christianity. They're open-minded enough to see when talking to someone about religion might be appropriate, and when this is absolutely not an "opportunity they need to jump on". They have clear-defined reasons and explanations behind believing what they do, in all areas - religion, politics, moral standards. And above all, they're still able to remain fantastic examples of who a Christian should be. Sometimes I wish I could be like these people.

Others.. I just feel bad for them. They believe in Christianity simply because it's what they were told and they don't even understand why they believe it. Never even thought about it. These are the types of people who argue against abortion simply because "god said it was wrong", will not accept any counter-argument, and are completely incapable of expanding that argument to anything more than that. Same types of people who vote Republican because their pastor told them that a Republican vote is a Christian vote. Those are the religious types I can't stand.

same. i have no respect for these people who have no reason to believe in what they do other than that they happened to be born into it. same goes for people who tell me i'm going to hell because the bible says so, and they don't even know what all the bible says. at least i've come to my position on my own, rather than just what my parents believe
