Replies Wilder Posted at 8:53 pm on Nov. 2, 2008 That would be non-religious theism; there is absolutely nothing to suggest that such a person is agnostic. The Nowhere Man Posted at 8:18 pm on Nov. 2, 2008 You're an agnostic theist. It means that you believe in a higher power but you don't believe that absolute knowledge of it is impossible. Most recognise that there is a chance that their higher power doesn't exist, but they believe that there's more of a chance that it does. I wouldn't say that they don't follow an organised religion, what with Discordianism (let's just call it organised for the sake of things XD) and UU welcoming people of all beliefs (re a higher power anyway), along with some Quaker congregations. warcrawl Posted at 8:14 pm on Nov. 2, 2008 IF you believe int he same man as christians,jews,muslims(God) than you ARE classified under one of them,even if u say you arent. if you dont believe in jesus,than your jewish. if you do believe in a last prophet,but he wasnt jesus, and it was muhammad,than your muslim. if you believe in both jesus AND god.than your christain. you cant just say your nothing =] pumpkin475 Posted at 7:59 pm on Nov. 2, 2008 i'm like that. most people call it being spiritual Sarge Posted at 7:57 pm on Nov. 2, 2008 That'd be agnostic. seekingsimplicity Posted at 7:55 pm on Nov. 2, 2008 you misunderstand the term agnostic, which is what you are. kenmochica09 Posted at 7:54 pm on Nov. 2, 2008 i thought agnostic was when you weren't sure. i looked it up a while ago... blufindr Posted at 7:54 pm on Nov. 2, 2008 Agnostic.
