Rant against anti-atheist agnostics.

[Dystopia]

Don't get me wrong, I'm agnostic too. Very much so in fact.

Really? How certain are you that god doesn't exist?

But 'militant' agnostics, like a certain new member whose user name cuts a little close to home, tick me off. Please tell me what it is you think you know about what these god-things are that makes you argue so vociferously against non-belief in them.

They seem to think agnosticism is a cool middle ground, and they also appear to love tolerance and mutual respect so they dislike conflicts between them and others, and between others. They also think god can't be proven or disproven, and so the best we can do is speculate and take no more position.

I get agnosticism. I don't get anti-atheism. What is that about? Personally I have no more trouble with agnostic theists than I do agnostic atheists. These are my peoples.

I don't get agnosticism, it is anti-pragmatic and makes us nihilistic.

Anti-atheist agnostics, like their brethren atheist anti-theists, carry around huge axes to grind. Both talk proudly of reasoned argument and evidence. But both are obviously more animated by emotional bile than any reason they actually own up to. Both are obviously working through issues which cloud their judgment.

Any problem with anti-theism?
