Atheists, what are your thoughts on us Agnostics?

(June 23, 2017 at 12:43 am)It_Was_me Wrote: I am agnostic. I take a rather simple approach to this entire God thing. I personally see it as there is really no evidence to prove he exists, however, I also feel there is no evidence to prove that he does not exist. BUT...I do think that the lack of evidence of his existence sort of hints that it is more likely that a God does not exist. I believe it is scientifically irresponsible to say he does exist and vice versa. But like I said, due to the lack of evidence provided for that existence, it seems more likely that there is not a God.

I can understand why one would be an atheist for this reason. It really just does not make much sense for there to be a man in the sky.

I hope I am making sense. 

Yes, I have read the God delusion. It was a very interesting read and I think Richard Dawkins is a very smart man and makes some excellent points. I do think he is sort of an asshole though. [Sorry if I offended anyone with that statement].

I personally preferred "A brief history in time". 

Anyways, I digress. Rolleyes

I'm not really sure what agnostic means or what it means to you. By atheist I mean I do not have a current belief in any god or gods. How sure I am that there is no god is not part of the definition. That I do not have a belief in god is.

When I hear people say they are agnostic, what I hear is one of two things: (1) I don't believe but I'm trying really hard to believe; (2) I don't believe but I also don't think that it's possible to prove there is no God. I was alternative one in my late teens and early twenties. I am alternative two now. I would call myself an agnostic atheist now, meaning without a belief in god but not 100% sure the is no god.

What is your actual state of belief?
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
