Philosophy is detrimental to the analysis of religion
#24
RE: Philosophy is detrimental to the analysis of religion
You just summed up what I believe.

In the end it works out to be a question of: are you an agnostic atheist or a gnostic atheist?

However, I think the agnostic atheist is the more sensible and reasonable position. To be a gnostic atheist requires the assertion that god is 100% non-existent, which like EvF said, is a fallacy. To be a gnostic atheist requires faith, that is, a belief that you can know something certainly without the observable proof, which would put you in the same camp as a christian.

Which are you?
