That being said, do you guys think gnostic atheist labels me better? Or should I keep the label agnostic atheist?(July 14, 2014 at 2:58 pm)Jenny A Wrote: Bingo! Then there are those of us who are generally agnostic atheists, but gnostic aJewish, aChristian, and aIslamists. I don't have a belief in a deity, and I don't believe in the god of Abraham, Isaac, Jacab. I'm also a gnostic atheist as to Thor, Zeus, and a host of others.
I wonder if your aChristianity et al are based on fundamentalist versions of Christianity. (I assume it is possible to be an agnostic Christian who understands the bible allegorically. Not that anyone hears from this sort of xtian very often.)
