The question "Do you believe in God?" appears to me as "Do you believe in fldsmdsfre?" .That is what the word God means to me,literally a group of senseless letters.So it like throws an exception(speaking in terms of programming) and i am stuck,literally stuck and i do not know how to respond.I just sit there blinking at the person that asked me the question.
Do you believe in orange? Leaves you with two possible outcomes,yes or no.
Do you believe in asflkajdfoij? Leaves you with a bland face expression.
But i find it strange because to most of the others it appears as "Do you believe in something i have no evidence of?" The answer is obviously no.How can someone believe in something he/she have no evidence to believe in? But when you think about it,if you choose to disbelieve in it,you are doing the same thing,i.e,you are disbelieving in something without evidence to support your action,which is equally irrational.
Withholding judgement with the default stance always being passive unbelief. That's what agnostic atheism is ._.
