It seems that I feel myself to be a GNOSTIC ATHEIST. Despite not being able conclusively to say there is NO god, I so strongly don't believe in one-or any-I just don't believe that one is possible.…Continue

I really can't understand where the confusion lies. Why is there a belief in a god amongst so many? What is the issue? The Bible is a book written by many different people, over many years—typically…Continue

Ron Humphrey replied to Chris Russell's discussion 'Belief'"Well, if you are looking for some one who thinks it is all crap, you have found me. I find all the nuances aren't necessary for me. I don't believe there is a god. for me simple. For others, dissect all you want.…"

It seems that I feel myself to be a GNOSTIC ATHEIST. Despite not being able conclusively to say there is NO god, I so strongly don't believe in one-or any-I just don't believe that one is possible. Just superstitious nonsense written in various books. It's all crap. That is how feel and wish I had more allies.See More

Pope Beanie replied to Chris Russell's discussion 'Agnosticism'"Chris, I know exactly where you're coming from! Meanwhile, it seems (or dare I say "it feels") like the strength of responses to you is over the top... not because you (possibly) wrote something for us here at TA to dispute, but…"
Chris Russell replied to Chris Russell's discussion 'Agnosticism'"For all anyone wants to say to quibble with my feeling, or critique the grammar, I just simply don't believe. That's all there is to it. THERE IS NO GOD. ANYWHERE, REGARDLESS OF RELIGION."
TJ replied to Chris Russell's discussion 'Agnosticism'"I parse it down a bit on that chart, as, in reality, as you cannot prove a non-falsifiable negative claim, there IS NO option to "Know Gods don't Exist"....
...so, chart options to BELIEVE no gods exist, are actually all there are,…"
Davis Goodman replied to Chris Russell's discussion 'Agnosticism'"I have more respect for agnostic-agnostic-agnostics. At least they show doubt. I think its likely the case that many of them lack critical thinking skills and dont know the common responses to typical god claims. This is a very large chunk of…"
Davis Goodman replied to Chris Russell's discussion 'Agnosticism'"Yes. You definitely have to give the person who makes the claim the opportunity to define their terms/agents and how it is falsifiable and present reasonable evidence (or a method to get this evidence). Up until this point the claim is just a strong…"
Tom Sarbeck replied to Chris Russell's discussion 'Agnosticism'"Be warned: when a "that" follows an "I feel", it passes a thought off as a feeling.
My defense for that?
The above "agnosticism is the personification of PASCAL'S WAGER" states a thought, not a feeling.
Here is…"
TJ replied to Chris Russell's discussion 'Agnosticism'"As the terms are about belief, and not proof, I am fine with:
1) Theist = Believes there are god(s)
2) Atheist = Rejects the claims that gods exist
3) Agnostic = Did not reject the claims that gods exist
:D
As for proof, technically (That word…"
Davis Goodman replied to Chris Russell's discussion 'Agnosticism'"I prefer the term "ignostic" or "igtheist", for those who frame their agnostic response like this:
I refuse to take a position on a claim that doesn't define anything nor suggest methods to falsify it nor present any…"
Strega replied to Chris Russell's discussion 'Agnosticism'"Every now and then, you come across a post you just feel like printing and framing. Go Mr Fronkey!"
Reg The Fronkey Farmer replied to Chris Russell's discussion 'Agnosticism'"If someone claims to be an agnostic they are not making a claim to know anything. They are admitting that “God is unknowable”. To this extent all atheists and all theists are agnostics.
I am an agnostic atheist. I have no…"
