Literally, agnostic means "without knowledge". You can be agnostic of anything. In the case of god belief, agnostic would denote a lack of knowledge on the existence of gods. It should also be noted that a person can be agnostic and be atheist or theist. But anyway, I'm atheist, former Christian. If you want to get into qualifiers, I'm an agnostic atheist. I lack knowledge of any deity because I have seen no convincing evidence that one exists. This lack of knowledge and evidence leads to a lack of belief in deities.

While sometimes i like the logic of aithiestic people, i also often feel that it can limit our own mind. I follow a path of vipassana which has no belief system to it, but then again it doesn't deny anything. I feel and have experienced several times in thought and experience that i am severely limited in my approach to such difficult concepts of God exists and God doesn't exist. While i don't put any label on you alot of atheists almost fundamentally deny an existence higher than what we currently experience. I feel that i am a small speck in a limitless universe, so how can i possible know what is what. I am just trying to understand the mind of an atheists. I don't worship a god but i am not an atheists, may sound confusing but i neither believe nor deny the existence of God, especially in the Christian sense of a person who judges us according to his standards. I think the eastern thought is far more advanced and developed in describing normal consciousness and a path our of normal consciousness to our true state.

I totally agree with the "small speck" thing, I think it's probably the only sensible path to take when you consider how totally, astronomically vast the universe is, and how small and frail we are. Yeah, you definately sound like some kind of gnostic agnostic, if that makes any sense. You don't deny a god, but you don't KNOW that there is one either. I'm more of a strong atheist, I think the idea of god is a purely human concept - but I admire your sensible philosophy. _________________ Las Reglas De la Rata.

I can assure you that not all atheists are logical. Atheists are capable of the same illogical and irrational thoughts that some theists are. The only difference is that atheists lack a belief in gods. Quote: I follow a path of vipassana which has no belief system to it, but then again it doesn't deny anything. I feel and have experienced several times in thought and experience that i am severely limited in my approach to such difficult concepts of God exists and God doesn't exist. While i don't put any label on you alot of atheists almost fundamentally deny an existence higher than what we currently experience. Atheists aren't denying anything, either. They simply have a lack of belief while not making any claims about the existence or non-existence of gods. However, there are atheists that make such a denial, but the same burden of proof that falls on a theist to prove that gods exist would fall on the atheist to prove that gods don't exist. Since there is no way of knowing whether or not a god exists, at least in the most generic non-religious sense of the word, the majority of atheists are agnostic atheists. Quote: I feel that i am a small speck in a limitless universe, so how can i possible know what is what. I can honestly agree with you on this. The universe is a vast and seemingly limitless thing, having been in existence for billions of years, and we are merely a flicker of that existence. Quote: I am just trying to understand the mind of an atheists. I don't worship a god but i am not an atheists, may sound confusing but i neither believe nor deny the existence of God, especially in the Christian sense of a person who judges us according to his standards. I hope you don't take offense to this, but to say that you don't believe a god exists would make you an atheist in some sense of the word. But like Rat_bytes said, you sound more like a deist than an atheist. Back to top dogfish Does anyone believe me? Joined: 10 Jan 2024 Posts: 457 Location: Bournemouth, England.

Do you know why? It's generally because one can, to a certain extent, interpret predictions to make them sound fulfilled: just look at all of Nostradamus' preditions - "He's finally fulfilling his promises!"...er, no he isn't - you've just taken something that sounds like it corresponds with a certain line or stanza, fitted them up, and hey presto. By the way, I don't mean to offend anyone and apologise if I do. _________________ "If aware that another is wicked, say so: make no truce or treaty with foes!" -Havamal Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         Godulike Forum Index -> Polls All times are GMT Goto page Previous  1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Page 7 of 7   Jump to: Select a forum Godulike discussion----------------Open MindsPollsRantsFaith-Without-FearFaithless-Without-FearLight My Fire  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group
