@Omnedon I surmise (suppose without hard evidence) there's not only life, but intelligent life, on other planets.
Likewise, I surmise both no personal, Abrahamic god, and also a unifying, all-encompassing 'force' which accounts for the existence of the universe and gives it it's vitality.
I surmise such things as reincarnation, some paranormal activity, extraterrestials, etc., are real things. But don't KNOW.
I'm as close to KNOWING as I can be, on the other hand, there is much we don't know and may never know.
The human race is evolving, growing, learning new things every day, but some things seem out of reach. Maybe not. Who knows?
Being an atheist vis a vis a personal god isn't anti-agnostic, because it's self-evident. The definition of 'god' precludes 'his' existence; i.e., if god is good by definition, there can be no hell, any human suffering, or for that matter pain in ANY form. Yet there is. Therefore, a personal god cannot and does not exist.
But that doesn't mean ANY kind of 'god' doesn't exist, and I think it very well might, and might manifest itself in countless ways.
That's as far as I or any agnostic neo-deist will go.
But still, that's not an insignificant distance.
Atheists can HAVE their nearly absolute belief in non-belief. I couldn't stand thinking that way.

@Omnedon I know of no agnostic who says we'll never know if there's a god or not.
Probably we won't, but who knows?
Again, it depends on how you define the word and what god actually is, right?
A good start would be to discover the origin--if any--of the universe.
The suspicion strengthens the Big Bang never happened, and if it has always been here (eternally cycling through from extreme condensation to explosion to the outer limits of expansion, and contraction again, over and over again) and IF it can be proved it was never created, well then, we wouldn't need a god to create it, would we? We'd be that closer to an answer, wouldn't we?

@Omnedon But there IS evidence.
They just ignore it.
I suppose it'd take an actual visitation by an entity.
I don't define god as an entity, so I don't need a visitation, just something more scientifically conclusive.

@Omnedon Yes I think science may eventually find the answers to some of the natural world's greatest mysteries, the cliche-ridden ones like, 'Who am I (consciousness),?' and, 'Where did I come from (the essence and origins of human beings)?' And even deeper ones, like how the universe came into being, if it ever was NOT there! Btw, there is a serious challenge to the Big Bang, having to do with the two universal forces of gravity and electromagnetism, called the Big Bounce, postulating expansions and contractions are cyclical, and may continue on and on indefinitely. So, theoretically it may be the universe never WAS created, and may never end, which runs counter to the Judeo-Christian model which asserts God created the world and someday will end it, at least in it's current form.
So, if all the Mysteries can be scientifically explained without resorting to a divine deity, why not other riddles like reincarnation, the afterlife (yes or no), psychism and other 'supernatural' or 'paranormal' phenomenon (which atheists love to scoff at), how inhabitants of other planets overcome the speed of light, super-ancient, pre-Ice Age advanced civilizations like Mu and Atlantis, etc.
One way or the other, I think, at the rate our knowledge base is accelerating thanks to the computer and other advances, it's possible all these questions will be answered conclusively and not so far into the future.
We'll KNOW if all these things and much more are real, or made up nonsense.
As far as I'm concerned, the faster the better to erase age-old superstition and ignorance, and kick us as a species into the present day.
So, if we can answer THESE questions, why not the biggest mystery of them all, the root essence of existence itself?
The answer to THAT question will tell us more than any religion certainly, what 'god' is.
Or isn't.

@Omnedon There IS evidence for it, just not the 'hard evidence' you require. This indicates a closed mind.
Reincarnation has been 'proven' circumstantially, for instance, in study after study.
The pyramids and other structures have been 'proven' to be non-buildable by the Egyptians at the time, and it's a very likely they are pre-Ice Age.
There IS credible evidence extraterrestials have been and probably ARE here, as I've mentioned before. You simply shut it out.
Psychism? Edgar Cayce is a well-known psychic of indisputable reputation. You seem so invested in your skepticism you're unable to acknowledge it.
The list goes on.
I don't even like the word "supernatural," because it implies 'magic,' when it actually denotes things not detectable by our five senses; this doesn't necessarily mean they don't exist.
I'm not saying this means a redefinition of 'god' is appropriate, but I'm not saying it isn't either.
About the Big Bounce, have you even read about it, as a competing 'theory?'
Just because the Big Bang is currently favored doesn't mean it's true, any more than it's true the sun revolves around the Earth.
But you seem comfortably ensconsed in your reactionary bubble, so to speak.
I'm not claiming truth, just the possibility of truth. I don't believe IN any of these things I've mentioned; just it's been convincingly advocated for.
Even crop circles: widely dismissed as the work of tricksters, there are scores of them impossible to explain as done by two men with shovels and kite string.
Anyway, it's been fun talking to you.
Have a nice day.

@Omnedon Thanks for the discussion.
I'm sure we'll talk again.

ALL Religion = Bullshit imho.

@Triphid same equation.

Whatever you were brought up that's the religion you are going to be until you get sick and tired of it and say, this is a bunch of bullshit.

@TomParos There are religions that require no belief and do not speak of belief.

Not every religion is bullshit IMO.

@WilliamFleming Err, correct me IF I'm wrong, BUT does NOT 'Spiritualism' require a belief in ALL things Spiritual?

@Triphid Not in my opinion. Spirituality is a broad category of attitudes, emotions and behaviors, in addition to belief in some cases, but no belief is required. Who would be making those requirements?

But I was referring to organized religious groups. Some of them have no requirements that a person believe anything. Examples are The Society of Friends, Unitarianism, New Thought Churches, Hinduism and Buddhism.

Traditional Christianity insists that everyone must believe certain things in order to be saved, which is truly ridiculous because we have no control over our beliefs. Belief arises spontaneously when ideas and assertions seem reasonable.

It means that she was deaf, dumb and blind in a religious sense.

I have been told that in biblical times people knew of looking thru a piece of glass which had been "smoked" (held over a fire) would reveal darkened, indistinct images and would prevent one from seeing elucidating details (i.e. "the truth" ).
