I'm just saying how it looks from where I'm standing.
Yes, I DO accept how theists appear to you may not be how they want to be viewed.
It IS in the eye of the beholder. There's no desperation to see you in some contrived way.
Just answer the question.
God -yes. God - no. God -maybe.
Isn't it true that agnostics say "maybe" and atheists say"no"?
This is the thing. <A/Gnosticism> refers to knowing <something>, I am agnostic towards god(s) because I don't know there is somekind of a god or gods (the word needs to be properly defined BTW). I am an atheist also, because at the present time no evidence for gods or single gods have been presented to me. The whole (a)gnostic idea is redundant, since theists, with the exception of deists, make many claims about their god(s). And I did searched for a god many times, when I was religious. It answered me when I did something to help myself, I.E. not distinguishable from what you'd expect happening naturally.
