To Agnostics, question for you

[*Deidre*]

From my perspective - I do not know if there are any gods, nor do I particularly care. I consider the question of whether or not they exist to only be as coherent as the definition of 'god' - which is to say, not very.

In other words, wake me up when you have an actual demonstrable deity to show me, otherwise, I can't be bothered to care.

lol I like this a lot. Thank you for chiming in. I feel this way, as well. I no longer feel 'required' to be on the look out for evidence of a god, like I did when I followed faith.

It's really not that hard, I'm always amazed when people ascribe their own definitions to words.

Agnosticism - deals with knowledge.

Atheism - deals with belief.

I'm an agnostic atheist. I don't generally say I'm an agnostic, because everyone is agnostic. If someone does describe themselves as gnostic about the existence of god (as if they know) then they're deluded.

Everyone is agnostic? Perhaps in actuality, but I don't think their perception of themselves would agree with you. lol

Relating to gnosticism...I think people who believe that, while they are deluded, their belief stems from 'what' they know, as far as they know. (based on say the Bible, or the Qur'an, or some other book that they feel can be used as evidence for a god's existence) But...not necessarily that they know with certainty. That's my understanding, anyway.
