Checking the dictionary
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 [...]
Another agnostic
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. [...]

An agnostic
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(

Agnosticism = fearful atheist?
Isn’t Agnosticism the fear of God by an athiest? That’s a perplexing idea.

Agnosticists believe that [...]

So, rather than continue down this language-trapped track, I will just say a few words about [...]

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 [...]

Absolute Agnosticism
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 [...]
