Are Agnostics Atheists?
So far as deities are concerned, agnostics believe that the existence of deities cannot be proven or disproven. That’s it. Despite what some people think, just [...]
Author of this site really needs to look up what ‘Agnostic’ means.. or maybe just *understand* it. That was a terrible response.
“…but you are wrong that I do not believe in the possibility of a God…”
- That is the very definition of agnostic.
Not to say I don’t find the aethiest extremity hilarious and for the [...]
I highly doubt the existence of a God. I believe observable evidence points to the lack of a God. I do, however hold agnostic beliefs. I accept the fact that the only definite truth is that we exist. There may indeed be a God, who is hiding his existence to you for an unknown purpose. [...]
Atheism, by definition, is the belief in the non-existence of any deity. I am non-religious, but no sir, I am not an atheist. I believe there is something more to life then what we can possibly come close to understanding through science or religion. If you cannot truly believe(
Isn’t Agnosticism the fear of God by an athiest?
That’s a perplexing idea. I don’t believe in God, or a diety, but JUST IN CASE… I’m going to say that I can’t prove either way, so I don’t want to difinitively claim there is no god… hmmm…

Workability:
When I say something supernatural has zero workability I mean simply that it does not provide me a tool for accomplishing anything or discovering other reliable information. A map of London may prove useful and workable. A map of heaven is not of much value that this feeble mind can imagine. Of course a person [...]
Hello again.
“Yet you have resisted my attempts to get you to assign a degree of “workability and usefulness” to the supernatural or unproven.
Ah, but I do. I assign values of zero workability and zero usefulness. That is precisely the point, I believe. Any statements about the supernatural/untestable are, from a scientific viewpoint, meaningless noise. From [...]
Hello:
Ah, this shows every sign of spinning out of control into “angels on the heads of pins” land and beyond.
We agree, it seems, about something fundamental here: The problem, to a large extent, is rooted in language.
So, rather than continue down this language-trapped track, I will just say a few words about my views on [...]
My my. A big one.
Let’s consider the basic question: Is the universe:- (A) something created by a sentient, all powerful being, (B) the result of naturally occuring process containing no element of will – like the Big Bang or vacuum fluctuations (C) something that always has existed as we find it (a la steady state [...]
Hello.
Curioser and curiouser…
All right, let’s do some house cleaning. Let’s forget that the words “theist”, “atheist” and “agnostic” exist. Let us say:
1. There are people who believe that god exists.
2. There are people who believe that no gods exist.
3. There are people who do not believe that god exists and do not believe that no [...]
