Indeed it is interesting how some of those people can take an approach that they "know" (gnostic) and then fall back on "gotta have faith" or "cause bible" which is far from a point of speaking in terms of knowing since that doesn't give a good enough reason to consider oneself "gnostic." I'm not a big fan of the gnostic position.

Yes I feel your pain, I too I'm not a fan of Gnosticism (even though I consider a Gnostic atheist more legitimate than a Gnostic theist), I think agnosticism gives you some humility because after all you cannot possibly know all the knowledge that exists and it is impossible to make a 100% claim that there is or there isn't a god, but I still consider the god non existing hypothesis more likely. Agnostics don't really bother me, it doesn't matter if they are atheists, theists or deists, at least agnosticism leaves room to some discussion. Today I went to a family religious ceremony and I found hilarious when the priest said 'All we need in this life is faith and belief, nothing more' - I'd like to see if he crosses the road without looking at both sides
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you

RE: Discrimination of atheists
Ah, but I'm not looking for humility when I discuss gnosticism - I'm looking for truth.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
