Can Someone be Simply "An Agnostic?"
RE: Can Someone be Simply "An Agnostic?"

Either that, or like my girlfriend, she knows better, but simply doesn't like the stigma that goes along with the word "atheist", and just picks a word that her parents are less likely to be hostile to.

Lastly, this pic:

I see your point but that pic isn't 100% true since an agnostic can be a theist.

It sounds nice when we think about going somewhere after death. We feel more relaxed about death (we as in some), but to me I do not believe in any god(s) nor do I think we have a higher power.

If we did have a god, I would wish for smarter people, but I think that is another fairy tale waiting to be told next.

P.S. I would wish for your avatar to be real too. How cute and funny would that be?

I agree, even though at first the thoughts of eternal sleep really bothered me
