Re: 'I'm agnostic'

I have the same problem with self-described atheists who think it's some sort of 100th position between Catholicism, Judaism, Buddhism, Jainism, etc. it's not. It's a statement about how much you believe in something, not what you believe in. You're atheist, but atheist what?

Are you just trolling, or do you actually think you're making some sort of legitimate point? Because it actually is a statement about "what you believe in" - in this case, none of the gods. If this was a sincere post (which I doubt), you apparently have no functional understanding of what atheism is.

Agnosticism, on the other hand, does not address the question of belief at all; it's a statement of knowledge. "Agnostic what?" makes actual sense, because you can be an agnostic believer (of pretty much any stripe) or an agnostic atheist.

It's about half trolling. In the immortal words of the band Rush, "if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice." You saying "yes, you've decided not to have a position, but what position don't you have" is absurd.

That's not what I'm saying at all, which is presumably where your problem is. Agnosticism is not incompatible with either atheism or theism (as evidenced by another poster further down this thread identifying as an agnostic believer, and a significant portion of atheists identifying as agnostic atheists). Acknowledging that you do not have certain knowledge of the existence of gods does not negate your ability to be personally persuaded or not-persuaded by theistic claims.

Are you persuaded that a God or gods exist? If yes, you're a believer. If no, you're an atheist. You can be an agnostic on top of either of those, but it's not some third path.
