What do we agnostics get?

I wanna have a symbol I can wear around my neck and show my beliefs...hmpf.

No this isn't spam, I'm seriously asking this. Do we get anything...?

A badge that says "Symbols are for the weak"?

*shrugs*

You get a nice ?

As an agnostic, I can honestly say agnostics are pathetic. Maybe we can have a spineless clam or something, since we can't make up our minds.

Beaten to it!


:mad:

You have made-for-profit T-shirts with clever words and pictures, silly, for your individuality. Just like everyone else.

How about you use a mashmellow logo...

The agnostic symbol is either: :confused:

Or a shrugging duck-billed platypus.

why not make one then.

something that really bellies your stance on a supreme being... like say,
... a question mark?

Well, as an agnostic I can say that I have made up my mind. I don't think it's possible to truly know whether God exists or not. What's so pathetic about agnostics?

Fine, then you get an interrobang.

...christians are not a different catagory from catholics.

I like the idea of a claim. or maybe a giant question mark, all blingy.

This symbol represents the Invisible Pink Unicorn, but can be used for atheists. :)

A set of ear plugs. ;)

Might I suggest some type of Eye, as in you will "believe it when you see it" some twist on the illuminati symbol.

A set of ear plugs.That would rather suit devout folks.

Some suggestions:
- scales to symbolise impartiality, balance and the weighing of evidence.
- a small black box, to symbolise you believe you will never know.
- a closed book ;)

That would rather suit devout folks.

Ahh but it does work both ways. When the devout types start yammering on.....

Ahh but it does work both ways. When the devout types start yammering on.....No it doesn't. Atheists and agnostics are those who are interested in the world and are eager to learn. Religious folks are self-satisfied and are content with their one-dimensional perspective on the world.

A big, golden and quite expensive "42".

How about a slice of pie? Pie is good.

If this were a poll, that'd get my vote.

A question mark, duh.

So what do atheists get? I want an atheist necklace (Christians have em, Jews have em, Pagans/Wiccans have em... :()

Atheists have symbols. Agnosts indeed don't...

No it doesn't. Atheists and agnostics are those who are interested in the world and are eager to learn. Religious folks are self-satisfied and are content with their one-dimensional perspective on the world.

Arent you full of yourself.

The Uncyclopedia (http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Agnostic) givges this:

This site (http://uctaa.net/articles/quanda/qa4/q62.html) agrees suggests eithe the ? or the darwin fish.

Good choice.

How about a big "N/A"?

I dig that. Though the simplicity of the question mark appeals to me as well.

I'd say a question mark, but that's already been mentioned.

No it doesn't. Atheists and agnostics are those who are interested in the world and are eager to learn. Religious folks are self-satisfied and are content with their one-dimensional perspective on the world.

I'd say there are some pretty damn self-satisfied atheists out there who are smug bastards that look down on anyone who isn't one of them. And, for that matter, most religious people are just as openminded and eager to learn as any agnostic or atheist.

Catholics and Christians are not different categories.

I think he specifically said Catholic because they're the largest denomination in Christianity.

A lovely way of looking at it, but fairly unconvincing, considering there are some Sects within Christianity that call the Pope the Antichrist.

Then again, this dude is an agnostic, so who knows what going on in his mind?

Yeah, that's true, but at the same time it's the only way to cover all the other
Christian denominations without leaving anybody out. I doubt Jack Chick reads this message board (after all, he hasn't made a tract about it yet).

Well, so am I (technically, I'm an agnostic theist, so that's a little different).

A big, golden and quite expensive "42".yep :D

Surely you'd just look like a slightly confused rapper?

Agreed with the first part.
However, since most believers are certain they know certain answers, and cannot accept another answer without giving up or changing their Faith, saying they will probably not be looking for them is not unreasonable.

In case nobody else said, actually Catholics generally get a crucifix, NOT a cross. A cross is shaped like the thing that Jesus is said to have died on, a crucifix is similar but also has a figure of Jesus dying.

It would probably help if you had some beliefs to symbolize.

Surely you'd just look like a slightly confused rapper?

Given that I look nothing like a rapper, probably not.

Even so, I've seen a lot of people who are Christian or Muslim or whatever who are perfectly willing to learn about others' beliefs without going in to the "fire and brimstone" type stuff.

Not sure about a symbol, but here's a good homepage for atheism! http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/False%2520Religions/Wicca%2520%26%2520Witchcraft/dio_satan_sign.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/False%2520Religions/Wicca%2520%26%2520Witchcraft/signs_of_satan.htm&h=432&w=435&sz=202&hl=en&start=1&tbnid=Uly_8LLn6Mi0gM:&tbnh=125&tbnw=126&prev=/images%3Fq%3DSatan%2Bsign%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26rls%3DGGLD,GGLD:2004-15,GGLD:en

While the question mark certainly gets the job done, I would hate to see it degenerate into clothing under which everyone suddenly gets to look like the riddler.. Maybe something more along the lines of the box thats in the other box with lines connecting the corners that you cant tell if it comes towards you or goes away from you. A simple something you could wear that wouldn't make the person appear clueless (thanks to so much comic influenza).

Hook'em horns! Go UT!

...or not. I do go to OSU after all.

Sure you do.
