I’d call it not because of being too scared but because of the creativity to be able to put him in some other form apt to one’s own lifestyle and point of view.
I could go on for hours and hours about my beliefs and agnosticsm. My feelings are strong. It’s not a matter of not knowing what to think. I think, I think all night and day. I know what to think, but I don’t know where it will lead.
But I will stop there, because, quite frankly, I’m boring and cannot type eloquently enough for such an issue.
Let’s just say I’m passionate, and RebelYell, your post would offend me if I thought you could be correct.
Nimby, I assure you that I’d talk as much as you can on this subject but I’d not want to pester :) Because I know that the sentences would lead to no certain place and I think that’s what makes me feel good about agnosticism :)
p.s. I don’t think that RebelYell has really notable things to say about this. Just ignore it :)
It bugs me when certain religions belittle other religions. "We're better than you" type of thing. I feel like saying, "Well, you both believe your lives are controlled by all-mighty beings that created everything, and neither of you have any proof that you're right or they're wrong!!"
Agnosticism is my path; raised with one Christian and one atheist parent.
I had the same. One parent who believed and one parent who didn't believe. Then later on in my life they traded places. I hated it. Both my sibling and myself followed the exact same. I do acknowledge that it wasn't all bad. I wasn't trained in any fundamentalist dogma and by no means have I ever thought that to not know or to speculate was an insult to god. Perhaps I haven't accepted The Way/Tao or The Middle Path just yet (I like both-I just keeping doubting myself) but I believe agnosticism should really be transitory. I've got no problem with the grey area in religion, well some days I do, but I associate the un-methodical spiritually chaotic way I was immersed in with unassertively not knowing what I want in life. I acknowledge that this is just my path and maybe someday I'll be more at peace with it, but I prefer the peace in agnosticism to be called something else.

MILITANT AGNOSTIC : I dont know and you dont either
I’m more of a non-committal atheist these days. :)
That’s a good way to put it. :)
Did you hear about the insomniac dyslexic agnostic? He stays up all night wondering if there really is a dog.
Agnostics: too cynical to believe in God, too scared not to.

There are so many different levels and parts of agnosticism.
Summer has part of it for me.
RebelYell has none of it.
“There are so many different levels and parts of agnosticism.”
An essential point in agnosticism. And nothing more to say about it.

To the last sentence: Oh drat, that’s not what I meant to say.

Right-ho, m’lady!
“The middle path” said the B to the uddha.
“Is God real?” asked the Atheist man, “Yes” said Buddha with a wave of the hand.
“Is there a God?” said the believer man, “No” said the Buddha “ba dump” went the band.
The third man asked, “Can you tell me about God?” Buddha said nothing and the man “Ah ha-ed”
The middle way it’s easy as pie, no worries but right now I tell you no lie.
Word.
Agnosticism: Accepting that nobody really has any way of actually knowing.

Agnosticism happens to be the most perfect thing for my indecisive views.
