Agnostics Unite! (again)

Oh, posts get deleted after a couple of days inactivity.

In order to give all you weekend posters a chance to join, I thought I'd bring this old chestnut out again.

Or maybe the mahogany would be better.

No, the chestnut. Maybe if I took the handles off the mahogany and put them on the chestnut...

Anyway, welcome one and all, sorry I can't stick around today to look after you, but take a seat by the fire, make yourselves comfortable, and I'm sure there must be someone around who knows what this is about and will fill you in on the details and fix you some refreshments (remember, guys, there's no marshmallows at the moment, but they are on order for next weekend's camping trip).

Hope you enjoy your stay.

Phil.

I thought deist was right, but it really just means "a person who believes the universe was created by god then abandoned" i believe...

Theism: Belief in the existence of a god or gods, especially belief in a personal God as creator and ruler of the world.

Sounds fair enough.

well i believe diversity to be the nature of reality and have never observed infallability to exist or need to.

likewise any natural requirement for nontangable forces and beings to not exist and equaly none for them to bear the slightest resemblence to anything anyone would expect them to, no matter how many people aggreeed on what they expected, and can't seem to immagine why anything in its right mind would ever want to be worshipped, no matter how many universes it might have created.

I'm sorry, allow me to elaborate

I personally believe that Agnostiscism is a phase that one must take in self actualizeation, but is only a transitory phase.

At some point one must question what they have been taught, but to maintain a level of doubt about the world seems a hinderence.

As there is no real truth, the end result (ie. God existing or not existing or anything in between) is not really important. You gain nothing in death by being an agnostic that you dont gain in any faith (im not touting faith, i think organized religion is far worse than agnostiscism since it is a system of control where agnostiscism is a system of... umm, doubt?).

Yes, you must contend that you do not know any truth, but at the same time you must (i guess this is MY belief) at least attempt to discern your own place in the cosmos. Its only human ;)


*****edit

what a nice way of telling you all that i think you are stuck in a Freudianesque develepmental phase. lol

once you turn it into a way of defining yourself doesnt it become a belief

or am i being stupid here

Agnostic = doubtful of god or doubtful of beliefs?

i know its semantics, but i think there is a real differance

there is no doubt in my agnosticism. i am totally sure that there is no way for me to know whether or not God exists. i do not "doubt" the existence of some higher power, because i simply have no information to go on. i doubt the versions of God that are proposed by all current religions, because all of them have logical or empirical flaws that make them essentially impossible, but that does not say anything about the existence of SOME higher power.

because i can never know whether or not there is a God, and can therefore never know anything about the nature of God, it would be wrong for me to pursue any particular form of worship or anti-worship. i believe that it would be dishonest of me to allow my personal feelings to dictate my conception of reality (any more than they already do), so selecting a religion or a strongly atheist stance would be inappropriate. i can never learn about myself or about my objective place in the cosmos if i allow myself to make up stories or fabricate conclusions based on nothing more than my own emotions...if i do that, i will never be able to get past my own fears and emotional needs, and i can never see "the big picture."

ya, i would agree with a lot of that

we are probably arguing over basic semantics here. I would consider this a set of beliefs that make you something that isnt agnostic. lol, im not sure what it would be, but i have always equated agnostiscism with indescision.

not wanting to sound harsh, but your concept of agnosticism is simply incorrect. to be agnostic is to believe that one cannot know about the existence or non-existence of God. people who are undecided may believe that they CURRENTLY don't know about God, but that is different than facing the permanent inability to know about God. it actually takes a lot of courage to face your own limitations, and to admit that you will never be able to know whether there is a God or not...nothing indecisive about it.

that said, most people use the terms "agnostic" and "atheist" incorrectly, so i can't possibly blame you if you have incorrect impressions of them. most people do use "agnostic" to refer to somebody who is merely undecided about God, even though that is not the meaning of the word.

I would disagree. I would believe that you have made a determination about your belief in God and are no longer an agnostic. That is just my interpretation of the word and spirituality in general. meh

The word agnostic comes from Ancient Greek. I can't TYPE in ancient greek on my computer, but basically the "gnostic" part comes from the word meaning "to know" and the "a" part negates it.

Take from that what you will.

I'm also an agnostic, by the way :)

Wow!!

The first ever Agnostics Unite! debate; this will go down as a great event in the annals of history (or perhaps the annuals of Beano, at any rate).

Take a seat. Save your energies for the discussions about the meaning of life. Ah, here comes the dessert trolley; perfect timing!

Just to fill anybody in who's still confused: this is Agnostics Unite!, a slightly incorrectly-entitled club for anyone who can tell the difference between agnosticism and atheism. It was inspired by the bigotry you see in many of the religion-based threads you see in this forum, and none is allowed in here (but refreshments are free!!).

In order to avoid people arguing, I won't use my own wording for the definitions this time, but will use those, as I did in another thread, from www.dictionary.com:

Agnostic:
One who believes that it is impossible to know whether there is a God.
One who is skeptical about the existence of God but does not profess true atheism.
One who is doubtful or noncommittal about something.

Atheist:
One who disbelieves or denies the existence of a God, or supreme intelligent Being.
A godless person.

I'll get the kettle on.

I rather prefer the motto of the Apathetic Agnostics: We dont know and we dont care.
But then, i am a clergyman of an organized non-religion. As a reverend of The Universal Church Triumphant of the Apathetic Agnostic (http://apatheticagnostic.com/) it is my duty to spread the word among the believers and convert them. ;)

Here are the articles of faith:

1. The existence of a Supreme Being is unknown and unknowable.

To believe in the existence of a god is an act of faith. To believe in the nonexistence of a god is likewise an act of faith. There is no evidence that there is a Supreme Being nor is there evidence there is not a Supreme Being. Faith is not knowledge. We can only state with assurance that we do not know.

2. If there is a Supreme Being, then that being appears to act as if apathetic to events in our universe.

All events in our Universe, including its creation, can be explained with or without the existence of a Supreme Being. Thus, if there is indeed a God, then that god has had no more impact than no god at all. To all appearances, any purported Supreme Being is indifferent to our Universe and to its inhabitants.

3. We are apathetic to the existence or nonexistence of a Supreme Being.

If there is a God, and that God does not appear to care, then there is no reason to concern ourselves with whether or not a Supreme Being exists, nor should we have any interest in satisfying the purported needs of that Supreme Being. However, our apathy to the question of God's existence does not necessarily mean we are apathetic about promoting agnosticism.

Now now, then. Remember, everyone is welcome, just as long as they don't think they're better than everyone else, remember?

Besides, I need that to reach the top bookshelf.
