    Agnosticism

    Can we have a thread/section for that, please? I do not identify with Atheism at all but I also do not believe in any other religion because of my militant belief that absolutely everyone, everywhere, is wrong about god/religion/spirituality. There is simply no way to know and no way to prove it, and every talk about gods as real makes me snicker.

    I'm tossing this into site info Bjorn since it's largely an organizational issue once you get to the idea of sections devoted to it instead of single threads. Past that, adding sections is above my paygrade.

      Re: Agnosticism

      If there is enough interest for it, I see no reason why not to include it as a subcategory. But that being said, I don't do any of the coding for the website because if I did, it would look like we entered 90s software everytime people came here, lol.

      I'll see what the other staff think.

        I'm sorry for misplacement -- from now on I'll post things like this in site information.

        and YAY! It's worth a shot.

                    You sound like an atheist though. It's exactly how I believe.

                      Re: Agnosticism

                      is there actually enough to be said about agnosticism, and enough people here wanting to say it, to justify a whole subcategory for it? A thread would work though.

                        Re: Agnosticism

                        Usually people who identify as agnostic are atheists, and Agnosticism is a philosophical position relating to the existence of gods. We already have places for those topics/discussions, Atheism and The Great Debate.
                        Trust is knowing someone or something well enough to have a good idea of their motivations and character, for good or for ill. People often say trust when they mean faith.

                          But I believe in the possibility of god as well, and incorporate "worship" to my version of god. I just know that I'm wrong and that everyone else is too. I honestly believe there is something out there, just that we can't possibly know what it is.

                          I believe in a higher power, just not anybody's definition of what it is so there's really no need to quote what MOST people are, I'm talking about me, and agnostic fits pretty well since I DO believe in a higher power. Agnosticism simply says it cannot be proven either way so that the possibility and impossibility are equal. It leaves that sense of maybe in there, and it is actually a religious perspective of reasonable doubt.

                          I think there's a great deal to be said from people who don't try to strap their spirits to any specific path. If there's no interest here that's fine, but there's a lot to say.

                            Oh, ok. Just with what you posted, it sounded very much like an atheist. Though with your explanation, I can see where you veer off from me. Either way. It's a good topic to have.

                              Yeah, I see now how I was a bit unclear -- my bad! That's why I wanted to have something separate from atheism because the word simply doesn't describe it -- I just fully accept that I'm full of shit and that one of the possibilities is that there is no god. ^_^
