Agnostics

WITCHMAN666420 · 09-26-2010, 08:17 PM

Atheist Agnostic,Theist Agnostic,Atheist Gnostic, and Theist Gnostic. The most common mistake here is that some people believe Agnosticism is some 3rd option in the question of belief, which it is not. People who claim to be Agnostics are still either an Atheist or Theist, it's not some 3rd option that avoids the question of belief. Determine with this,Do you believe in a god?If the answer is yes then your theist,if the answer is anything else,your an atheist.

The world is complicated, much more so than black and white..

I am my God. If I want something in my life to change, I change it. I empower myself instead of whispering at the ceiling to get shit done.I decided if I wanna change something, I gotta go and do it myself, therefore putting God's power in my own hands. Agnostic, nah. Call my belief set solipsism. Its the closest match out of the bunch.

Claiming "not to know" is the only honest answer one can give on the subject of God or Gods. It's those who are afraid to admit that that are the "pussies", if anyone deserves to be called one.

It's really easy to shoot down those "idiots who believe fairy tales." The fact that your sense of superiority to those believers borders on hostility describes arrogance more than insightfulness. Look deeper. Wisdom isn't choosing the easiest way to be right all the time.

My prediction is that Jesus comes back to this troll hole before witchman. see 'religion-mental illness' thread

Although it's nearly brilliant because much like Merc's threads, they are so sensational we all dive on them.
