(June 21, 2014 at 6:24 pm)MindForgedManacle Wrote: Agnosticism isn't even about certainty per se, it's about the supposed inability to justify a position for or against the God/gods proposition.

1: That goes completely against the definition of the term, as well as its origin, which is: knowledge. Agnostic = Without knowledge. Gnostic = With knowledge.
2: That still doesn't answer the question, which is: Do "agnostics" believe in the existence of one or more deities or not? You've completely missed the point, apparently. Belief or non-belief. Those are the only two options. Whether you believe your position is justified or not is irrelevant to the question.
The truth is absolute. Life forms are specks of specks (...) of specks of dust in the universe.
Why settle for normal, when you can be so much more? Why settle for something, when you can have everything?
