Are you a strong agnostic, a medium agnostic or a weak agnostic?
Where are you on this scale?
It all Bull shit!!!
There is no god($)!!!
If you believe you sure are fucking stupid enough to believe obstructionist republican fascists wholesale!!!
I am agnostic because I am a scientist( actually an ex science teacher) . Anyone who is a scientist should really class themselves as Agnostic. Why? Because a scientist does not admit to knowing an answer BEFORE he/she experiments and concludes with facts . This applies to anything including "Can I know God?" . The difficulties of proving God can be seen anywhere but I do not think he/she will be found. So at least you are in the right website to be a scientist.
Nonsensical, spurious and completely unnecessary. Labels create divisions, there are more than enough divisions in society outside of this site, let us concentrate on what unites us here at Agnostic.com. I like to believe that what that is, is our ability to agree that we should be led by scientific evidence, rational thought, logic, and scepticism of dogma or doctrine. Certainly not by subdivision into categories of disbelief.
I'm a strong atheist. Agnosticism has nothing to do with it. Or did you just mean agnostic? If so, why?
@DangerDave the lesson was on irony. Guess you missed it. Oh well.
@DangerDave You are pretty snippy for a guy whose post here was met by almost complete dismissal. Just saying.
Your scale is absurd. What the heck is a "medium" or "mild" agnostic?
How do you measure it?
Thee is no God. You figure out which is correct for me.
Since age 13 when I told my parents, I'm an atheist. I don't believe in an invisible deity that resides somewhere beyond the clouds. Period. There are no gradations of "atheist."
As a child, I realized the Bible is just a book of stories written by men.
I chose rational thought, not magical beliefs.
If I had a spiritual interaction, what would demonstrate that it was spiritual?
What spiritual effect would generate a belief in a personality, or singular spiritual entity?
What spiritual interaction couldn't be explained by natural causes (brain fart)?
What is to be gained by spiritual meditations?
It's all so vague and featureless. What useful truths have ever been drawn from it? There is never a take-home lesson. People who pursue paths of enlightenment never generate new useful information. God didn't whisper E=MC2 in Einstein's ear, it fell out of rearranging Maxwell's equations. Not one religion came up with evolution, but it was always there to be seen.
I am a strong agnostic atheist. I strongly do not believe any gods exist. But I acknowledge that this is something that simply cannot be known/proven.
Because of the limits to language. Mixing Scientific and Religious concepts does not work, they define different realms.
