What you quoted says, Athesists say they don't believe.

I know what you said, and the point of my post - which you seemed to of missed (Duurr do you speak english in Texas? ) - is that antagonists are not 'sitting on the fence' and I don't see how there is even a 'fence' to sit on. And I asked you how you came to this conclusion.


But I take it you can't answer me, since you seemed to have just made a lame attempt at patronising me, rather then actually adressing my post.

[SlowwHand]

Yeah, well. The censors strike .

Osweld, I explained my line of thought. That's all there is to it.
If you want it to go deeper, sorry.

So you have no real line of thought behind it? You just - for some unkown reason, with no explenations or reasons as to why - think that agnostics are somehow being indecisive? I should of know.


Texans.

[SlowwHand]

What other explanation other than indecisive is there Osweld?
Are you undecided about being agnostic? Now that's really bad.

You are correct. Humans cannot possibly know God fully, we must first ascend through many lifetimes of experience.

[SlowwHand]

That's one line of thought, Cal.

Maybe that they have decided that they don't care?


God exists: whop-de-do
God doesn't exist: whop-de-do


Either way, it means nothing to an agnostic. They do not care one way or the other. There is no fence for them to sit on.

[SlowwHand]

I think the basic problem here is that you don't understand the term "sitting on a fence".

Yes I do - you are saying that agnostics can't decide whether god exists or not, or that they are leaving their options open. When, infact, the existance of a god is a complete non-issue to an agnostic.

[Bereta_Eder]

basically agnostics have CONCLUDED that it is impossible to know if God exists or not.


Usually there is also the complimentary but not obligatory feeling that they don't care eitherway.

agnostics are primarely interested with what is happening down here and now. bettering the world they live in without wasting time in supernatural dilhemas for which there is no answer. (that is basically there life philisophy)

You're a total lost cause.
The very word AGNOSTIC exists purely for the reason you say is not an issue.

[Caligastia]

I have more respect for an agnostic who has the humility to admit that he doesnt know whether God exists or not, than for an atheist who arrogantly states that he knows God doesnt exist.

Slowwhand, what have you been smoking when you initiated this thread??

I'm not agnostic nor atheist -- I'm a non-conformist Christian, in that I do not belong to any Christian denomination. Yet, I have strong beliefs in Jesus Christ, and that there is a God in the universe -- only one, true God.


But I'm sure you can find something wrong with that Slowwhand, with your refusal to elaborate on your premise.

But don't worry -- reading these posts here that you made is good for one thing -- comic relief.

[SlowwHand]

Not me. As least an atheist is committed to a belief of some kind,
whether I agree or not.
An atheist is too wimpy to cast their lot one way or the other.


And MrFun. I explained it once, twice, thrice for Osweld.
If you can't follow the bouncing ball, it's not my responsibility.
