I just heard the term "ignostic" for the first time.
Ignosticism, according to Wikipedia, is "the theological position that every other theological position assumes too much about the concept of God and many other theological concepts; including (but not limited to) afterlife, damnation, salvation, sin and the soul. Ignosticism is the view that a coherent definition of a given religious term or theological concept must be presented before the question of the existence or nature of said term can be meaningfully discussed. Furthermore, if that definition is unfalsifiable, the ignostic takes the theological noncognitivist position that the question of the existence or nature referred to by the term, for the given definition, is meaningless."
So basically ignosticism says that the concept of God's existence and the probability of God's existence is unverifiable and thus nonsensical? Can anybody shed light on this term? I'm interested.
