You said that not taking a stand on something means you don't have a backbone. Why does a person need to take a stand? You don't need to follow the believers or nonbelievers in order to have a backbone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because there is overwhelming evidence in one direction (I admit it's not 100% certain!) and the probability is extremely low, get off the fence already Sally.

There are not many absolutes in life which is why I find myself in the middle more often than not. I'm happy right where I'm at. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MDC 7,434 Posted October 23, 2024 I used to call myself agnostic because the existence or lack of existence of God can’t ever be proven, and I find a lot of vocal atheists to be obnoxious. But gun to my head, I’m an atheist. Every culture in history has had a belief in God. Today’s religions aren’t any different than ancient Greeks talking about Zeus up on Mt. Olympus.

Agnostics believe the existence of god can't ever be proven. It's not the atheist's job to prove the lack of existence of anything. They're not the ones making the claim.

Good ol' Trigger. "Must take a position, regardless of whether I have all the facts! And I will never change that position, regardless of any new facts!" Such a MAGA way to handle oneself. Tell me Trigger, what is it like being so insecure? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My understanding of the difference is: Atheists: There is no God Agnostics: The existence of God is unprovable I think a lot of agnostics are really just polite atheists.

Until then it's extremely unlikely so I'm not holding my breath. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agnostics are more about believing god is "unknowable" as opposed to unprovable. This is where I come from. Maybe there is, maybe there isn't, but if there is, there's no way a piddly human could possibly understand it, and also he/she/it/they/them/Chthulhu doesn't GAF about the ineffectual, unintelligent life forms on this backwater blue marble. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
