Agnostics Unite!!! 3

As ever, this is not just a social club for agnostics, but for people who understand the difference between agnostic and atheist.
So basically, it's a place for people to be genial to each other. Pull up a nice leather armchair by the fire in my oak-panelled drawing room, or relax in the games room at the billiards table. Over-18s can sample my wide selection of single malts.
So welcome all you gentlemen and gentleladies, and remember:
"We don't know and we don't care!"

And I never knew there was a Church of Apathetic Agnosticism. How do I join?

Go to the website. http://www.apatheticagnostic.com/ you can even get degrees and doctorates from there. I have an M.A. in basic agnosticism. :)

Yes, I think we've got some lying around here somewhere...
...Ah! Here we are. Hope you don't mind the gold stitching. I wasn't convinced at first, but I'm definitely warming to the idea.
I'll send it off at once.
Hmm, that was quick. Here you are, old chap.
Now, who's for a spot of marbles in the yard, before the afternoon rain sets in?

Oh, you don't have to abandon your beliefs, what-what! You just have to embrace the concept that other people are really quite spiffing, that's all.
Come along and play marbles, and later I think we have rock cakes for afternoon tea.

You don't actually have to be agnostic - you just have to be tolerant of others and understand that agnosticism and atheism are not the same thing. It's quite simple really.

My favorite conspiracy theory ever comes from Greece where some people believe their army has the Medusa's head hidden in a vault in case someone invades. Outstanding!

But...how would they get it out? Send in a robot? Send in someone blindfolded and let him feel his way around until he gets it?

Word to the wise. The creator of the word 'agnostic' was himself a theist, and labelled himself as agnostic. Perhaps atheist, meaning not a theist, would be a better choice than agnostic?

No. This isn't a place for religious discussion (well, not of that sort). Our motto is "We Don't Know And We Don't Care!" We're here to be pleasant to each other.
Just to reiterate, though. An agnostic claims not to know whether there is a god. An atheist claims there is no god.

Yup, agnostic, from greek: "gnostos" meaning known: "a-gnostos" meaning un-known.

Got into an argument with Someone claming to be agnostic in the “anti Christianity movement on the rize” thread
Confusing The meaning of agnostic with Gnostic
(while frustrating cause they kept telling us they knew better)
I was curious if anyone here has done the same thing … really believed in Gnosticism rather then agnosticism
Agnostic
ag•nos•tic P Pronunciation Key ( g-n s t k)
n.
1.
a. One who believes that it is impossible to know whether there is a God.
b. One who is skeptical about the existence of God but does not profess true atheism.
2. One who is doubtful or noncommittal about something.
And Gnostic
Gnos•ti•cism P Pronunciation Key (n s t -s z m)
n.
The doctrines of certain pre-Christian pagan, Jewish, and early Christian sects that valued the revealed knowledge of God and of the origin and end of the human race as a means to attain redemption for the spiritual element in humans and that distinguished the Demiurge from the unknowable Divine Being.

I know … I would have been fine if he was like “alright guess I am Gnostic”
But no he started with saying he was a REAL agnostic (which is the OPPOSITE of what he professed to be) then he continued to use GNOSTIC
And when we pointed it out (me first) he said that I shouldn’t tell him what he is studying to believe (if he is studying he should listen to other points of view … much less those with reputable sources like a DICTIONARY) and continued to say the rest of the world was wrong
Lol
At least I proved one thing
As critical as I sometimes am of Christianity it is usually because of its members blindness … and people like the Gnostic guy who walks around thinking he is superior while wrong got it just as bad ;)
