No thats more of a skeptic, and they are usually still some type of believer. I have never been baptized, nor ever a member of a church. I was born into a world where I discovered religion of many different cultures on my own. Actually I started reading Philosophy before I ever read the bible.
I am a observer to this religious conflict between sects and believers. Even defected believers could be considered Agnostic
1 : a person who holds the view that any ultimate reality (as God) is unknown and probably unknowable; broadly : one who is not committed to believing in either the existence or the nonexistence of God or a god
2 : a person unwilling to commit to an opinion about something <political agnostics>
— ag·nos·ti·cism \-t?-?si-z?m\ noun
It's not even so much that I question it, because I'd have to of actually believed in the start. Really I'm taking an objective approach. My stance is, prove it to me first and if it's true I'll believe it.
It's just scientifically I couldn't accept the thought of no higher forms of intelligence. By that I don't really even mean GOD.
But it would be dumb to assume we are alone in this vast universe of space, but to believe there is some figure hovering above us. Watching his creations go through torture and pain for a little bit of happiness ? No I think not.
My commitment is to life itself. Add up the amount of hours your people speak to their imaginary people, and you'll realized all those hours in prayer and church, and groups add up to quite a bit of time spent.
Then add the 5-8 hours of sleep most people get a day, and your life is short usually by at least 10-11 years if I remember correctly. I'll edit this and add it up later I'm tired now.
1. Nothing is true without scientific proof.
1- A.There is no scientific proof that the magical fairy god exists, regardless of what you say about his lackey's and their epic shroom adventures here on earth.
2. Explain the dinosaurs, no one can
Did god also create all these other sustainable planets found on the other end of the universe? if so he should incorporate.
I find it all too amusing what people believe, but religion has done wonders for others, so I will never knock it like the Atheists might. They commit to the idea of there being absolutely no god. (So even if you said see here scientific proof - there is none- but if there actually was they'd reject it still) I guess kind of like how religious people refuse to accept many aspects of science.
I'm at least open to theories, even if i think your a nutbag, at least I listened. Because everyone deserves to believe in what they want. You respect my belief to analyze your beliefs and study them from an outside perspective, great!
Because I have no problem with holy rollers, just don't knock on my door, don't sell me anything, know your faith better than me, and don't be a hypocrite (too bad that's impossible for most people who claim to be Christian).
So for those truly devoted few, I respect and honor your beliefs because it's important to you.
To all you, 50/50 believers, hey you heard the words of god, you've read Jesus's words I'm sure. You are no longer innocent after hearing the word of god, if your faith is true, and you believe, know that if you do not heed the warning of your idols that you will suffer because of it. So don't turn your back unless you are def sure. Because he takes children and dumb people who have never been subjected to religion, but once that ignorance is gone you need to make a choice.
So says the "book" by the way.
Good luck with that.
