Agnostic (for me) = I don't know for sure (if there is a God/Supreme Being) and I don't care.

Agnostics are notoriously dense, little wonder you can't grasp.

So no explaination as to why your statements shouldn't be viewed as agnostic?
If you were trying for sarcasm with both statements perhaps you should refine your writing style to convey it more clearly.Comment

Bah, agnostics are fence-sitters who want to sound superior.
No, I can't prove that a God does not exist with any certainty. Nor can I prove that there isn't a magical pink unicorn on the dark side of the moon, or that I'm currently typing on a computer with any certainty. But it's extremely improbable that either God or the magical pink unicorn on the dark side of the moon exist or that I'm not currently typing on a computer, so I might as well say that God does not exist, there are no magical pink unicorns on the dark side of the moon, and I'm typing on a computer.
If I can't say there is no God without adding a qualifer , I can't assert anything without adding similar qualifiers. And where would the English language be then?!

Reading through the thread you made several derogatory statements about agnostics. I was just wondering if you would apply the same reasoning to your own doubts and qualified statements.Comment

I didn't hide the fact at all that I think agnostics are little pansies who are afraid to make a decision.
Where did I lose you, and what doubts of mine could you possibly be referencing?Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Hypothetical doubts. Or do you know everything? The statement I quoted seemed to imply agnostic reasoning. I just was wondering if you meant it that way, and if you did, if you apply the same judgement towards yourself as towards others.Comment

I never claimed every decision I ever made was correct.
What I did say, was that concerning anything, not only God, that the only automatic wrong decision is no decision.
That's a correct statement, and position.
"I don't know, and I'm not going to make a decision" is kind of sad.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

That's not what I was implying. Here it is as plainly as I can put it:
Do you have any doubts whatsoever?
Do you ever qualify your statements or use agnostic reasoning (on any subject)?
Does a yes to either of the previous questions make you "[a] little pans[y] who [is] afraid to make a decision"?Comment
