My Argument for "Gnostic Atheism" - Anyone Else?
#2
RE: My Argument for "Gnostic Atheism" - Anyone Else?
Gnostism by its accepted definition is a claim of knowledge, so by admitting there may be a yet undiscovered God then you cannot be gnostic that there is no God. You may be gnostic that the currently described gods are false, but that is not the same. I would more aptly describe you as a strong agnostic atheist, your own personal definition not withstanding.
Honestly it is very hard to truly make a gnostic case FOR something and exponentially harder to make one AGAINST something. I have yet to really hear a good arguement for gnostic atheism, though I have asked on these forums in the past. I do think that agnostic atheism is probably the most intellectually honest we can be.
