Quote:hmm..I think agnostic theist is more irrational. It's saying you believe in God, but you don't have knowledge of God. Why believe in God if you feel you have no knowledge of God? At most, I would believe in a Creator without claiming to know he exists, just likely, and be agnostic to whatever he is. But I don't see why believing in God is rational without feeling you have genuine knowledge.Personally I find the theistic position (or any belief in a god) to be at least a little irrational. How can one know there is a god? How can you tell that it's not a delusion? For me I just stick to Occam's Razer.
Quote:I agree God would not be insulted. I also think God wants us to be intellectually honest. To seek the truth and guide towards it. But I think I would intellectual dishonest to myself if I said "I don't know God exists".I'm glad you use the words 'I think'. Many like to state it as if it's a fact. I prefer to remain honest myself.
Quote:This is what it comes down to. You are being honest to yourself and I respect that.Honesty is always better.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
