Dumb Things Theists Say

[Bad Writer]

Based on what "agnostic" means, most Christians would be.

"Agnosticism" is a lack of knowledge of spiritual matters. Most Christians would claim that their beliefs are a matter of "faith" and not knowledge. They don't know that their religion is true but choose to take a leap of faith and therefore believe without knowledge.

In fact, I'm not sure how faith would work without agnosticism. If you knew something to be true, you wouldn't need faith at all.

From my seemingly limited understanding, agnosticism may be a skeptical viewpoint on spiritual matters, but it also discounts belief in things not understood. So by his assertion that he is an Agnostic Christian, he doesn't have a belief in the Christian God, but he upholds the idea that it could be true.

I don't see how most Christians could be agnostics. Though many know how to reason things out, they still uphold a belief in their god, leaving agnosticism out of the question since that requires them to not believe.

Not believing doesn't make someone a full-fledged atheist (again, from my limited understanding, as it seems). What separates an agnostic from an atheist is that agnostics claim that there can be a god, whereas atheists don't make any claims, deciding instead that we just don't know. By this line of reasoning, an agnostic atheist makes more sense than an agnostic Christian, unless the latter simply upholds the traditions of the assumed faith while lacking belief in it.
