All the while believing that life goes on after death?

All the while believing that life goes on after death? yes, agnostics are faith driven people. I never forget Posted at 12:39 pm on Oct. 30, 2008 Well...most agnostics don't know, and they don't really care. Some agnostics don't know, and would like to know. Wilder Posted at 12:10 pm on Oct. 30, 2008 People most often use "agnostic" to mean that one doesn't know whether or not there is a god, though properly the term refers to the stance that one cannot know for sure whether or not there is a god (thus meaning that agnostics, like all people, are either atheists or theists). obvious child Posted at 9:25 pm on Oct. 28, 2008 Um no. Agnostic is not knowing if there is or isn't a God. And it is the most logical belief system between believing and not believing. Ouran Posted at 8:45 pm on Oct. 28, 2008 I'm agnostic and I firmly believe that there is no higher power and I will be tossed into nonexistence when my neurons discontinue their transmitions.  However, I also believe that I cannot know for sure that I am right - if I am wrong, I will proudly take suite 666 with Satan (or maybe even Hades) himself and when my judgement comes before Yeskwah, I will be sure to tell him to shove his greedy, conceited, arrogant bullshit up his hairy ass o.o Discordany Posted at 7:33 pm on Oct. 28, 2008 Quote: from The Wolfhound at 8:30 pm on Oct. 28, 2008 Agnostic is NOT undecided.

I do not have an opinion on the issue other than you can waste your life trying to argue whether there's God and life after death or not. Agnostic is NOT atheist, as it doesn't say God does not exist. In other words, it is undecided. yes, you've decided that there's no way to prove it, but thats not the question. Are you decided on whether there is a God or not? No. Therefore, you are undecided. The Wolfhound Posted at 7:30 pm on Oct. 28, 2008 Agnostic is NOT undecided.

I'm agnostic, I think that their is a higher power. I just don't think it's necessarily "god" himself. I think it's some kind of force that balances out nature and perhaps allows life on our planet. I don't necessarily believe in the "bible" at all. I sometimes think the Bible was written by some sort of ancient goverment type thing just to ensure that their communities wouldn't be an absolute Hell to deal with. To install fear into them, perhaps.

That's basically it. I do not deny the existance of God, I'm just not saying I KNOW he exists, either which is basically pussy way of saying you're an atheist Unaccepted Posted at 7:25 pm on Oct. 28, 2008 Something like that, it really depends.

FingerSub Posted at 7:23 pm on Oct. 28, 2008 Kinda like a religious procrastinator, or you hate religion like me and believe in a higher power or intelligence.

Discordany Posted at 7:23 pm on Oct. 28, 2008 Quote: from joziah at 8:22 pm on Oct. 28, 2008 means u dont belive in religion well any sort of organized religion No, thats an atheist. and no, to the OP. Agnostic means that you simply do  not know, and often do not care. You dont want to say "no, there is no God!", because you dont know that, but you also dont want to say "Yes, there is a God!", because you dont know that either.

"There might be a god, but there also might not be" the ones who have trouble forming an opinion? That's how my agnostic friend described it :/ Most recent 15 of 22 previous replies displayed.
