But you don't believe you don't. You just don't

An atheist doesn't believe in God, so he believes the opposite. Negative belief is just a different kind of belief. The only way to not have a believe is to be pure agnostic, ie, you have absolutely no idea whether or not there is a god and are not leaning either way.

I don't believe in anything. I don't even think I'm agnostic. The thought of religion just isn't in my life.

Dude, that means you're agnostic. you don't think you're agnostic; you just are. If you don't have a stand, it means you're neutral, and the word for that is agnostic.

Agnostic means that you don't believe there is any evidence for or against god. I was agnostic but telling people that was effort so now I'm just nothing at all. Religion is something for other people to think about. Not me. If there's an entertaining religious argument I'd usually side with athiests cause they entertain me more.

Yes. Agnostism is the absence of belief. It's like a room without light is dark, not 'lightless but not dark'

I don't know what you're pointing at... Anyway, agnostic is the ground state. If you have no belief, you're agnostic. You must be actively religious, or actively atheist, but if you don't do anything, you become agnostic.

Agnostic means that you believe there is no knowledge for or against god. It's not that you don't hold any belief.

Okay, I think I'm starting to see what your getting at. Just let me get this clear: you believe there is evidence for or against the existence if a god (not agnostic), but at the same time ignore such evidence, as shown by your lack of belief? I don't understand how you can classify the points as legitimate evidence, yet not beliece them

No I don't believe there is or isn't evidence for or against god. I have no opinion on it

by Anonymous 11 years ago

I think I get it. You're undecided if the evidence is legit or not right?

No I don't have an opinion on it.

I know I don't believe in anything. It's not a belief. It's knowledge.
