You are not Agnostic
You are not agnostic Some people claim to be agnostic instead of atheist because they believe it is a less severe view of the disbelief of a God. They are mistaken in their understanding of the term Agnostic. It is not a step down to a softer form of atheism. Agnosticism and atheism are two completely separate categories of belief. The definition of agnostic is:"a person who believes that the existence of the ultimate cause, or God, is unknowable." This does not mean the person believes there is a god. Nor does it mean the person believes there is not a god. It is only referring the knowledge about a god. The definition of atheist is:" a person who disbelieves the existence of a supreme being. " This is referring directly to the belief that a god exist or not. It is not referring to the knowledge about a god or whether that knowledge is knowable. A person can be an agnostic atheist or an agnostic theist. That's right, you can believe in a god while simultaneously believing that the knowledge of the god you believe is unknowable. You can believe there is no god while simultaneously believing that there might be a god, but the knowledge is unknowable. How do you determine if you are atheist? That's easy, just determine whether you believe in a god or not. It is okay to say "I don't know", but that is not the question. We don't know if unicorns, leprechauns, or big foot really exist either. But you could still believe they do exist without knowing for sure. The question is ...
Why I'm an Agnostic
Not that anybody asked... ---------------------------------- I can not bring myself to be a religious person. I can not believe in Gods and Angels and Heavens and Hells. It all sounds too limiting, too convenient and too anthropomorphic. I don't think religious people are wrong in believing in it however. What matters is that you believe in something that fulfills you and as long as they don't try to enforce their morals and beliefs on me, whatever makes them happy is just fine with me. But I'm not ready to believe there is nothing after we die either. It may well be true. But its just as possible that it isn't. Looking superficially at the world, you may be led to believe that there is no life after death. That there is no God, no Creator of any kind, for if there is one, who created him ? But what do we really know about our existence ? To examine that, lets ask the most basic questions: Who What Why Where When Who Who are we? Yes we are humans, but are we alone, are we unique in the universe, or are there others like us? Do we die and disappear or do we live on in some way? We have no context. Nothing to compare us to except other animals born on our planet, from which we ourselves have evolved. Given the size and richness of the universe, that's a pretty small sample. What What are we? Yes we are living organisms of biological origin. But we know so little. How do our bodies really work? We have advanced immensely but we still can't change them, can't stop them from ...

Dear Awesome Agnostic People...
There's nothing wrong with being agnostic, but I hope you'll hop down off the fence and give atheism a little test drive. Here's some reasons why! Julia Sweeney's awesome show: www.youtube.com And that Ricky Gervais thing I rambled too much about at the end there: blogs.wsj.com But yeah! Liberation and dignity! So true. Also, I know I didn't really get into defining agnosticism as either the belief that knowledge of god (or anything beyond the material) is unknowable, or the lack of both faith and disbelief. I basically lumped the technical and colloquial definitions together like a jerk. Sorry about that! I blame hipsters.

Interview: Agnostic Loses Custody Of Kids
Cenk Uygur (host of The Young Turks) on MSNBC Live speaks with Craig Scarberry about losing custody of his kids because he is agnostic. Read the Transcript Here: www.alternet.org heraldbulletin.com Religion is, apparently, not "in" anymore, at least not the way it used to be, according to a new poll. Results show that in a single generation the Christian Church drop-rate has increased five-fold. That's a huge number. Goes on to show that "80% of people raised in a church will disengage before they are 30." On the other hand, there are some people who take religious devotion so seriously that they punish others for not sharing the same beliefs. That's exactly what seems to have happened in an Indiana courtroom recently. A father is fighting back after losing custody of his children in Indiana. Craig Scarberry has shared 50/50 custody of his three kids with his ex-wife for 4 years. But when that time was just recently reduced to 4 hours per week, he started digging to find out why, and he had a shocker. The Judge wrote, "The father did not participate in the same religious training as the mother ... father was agnostic." The ruling also stated, "... when the father considered himself a Christian, the parties were able to communicate relatively effectively."
Why I am an Agnostic - Clarence Darrow
While I'm editing my latest video (looks like it's going to be 5 parts) I thought I'd do this quick one featuring an essay from one of my heroes, American lawyer and civil rights activist Clarence Seward Darrow. Perhaps best known for his role as the Defence Lawyer in the Scopes Monkey Trial, he struck a mighty blow against Christian Fundamentalism when he locked horns on the witness stand with the bombastic lawyer William Jennings Bryan one blisteringly hot day in Dayton, Tennessee. Darrow knew he couldn't win the case, it was open and shut. His client, a teacher, had taught evolution in school, and that was against the law. Darrow quickly saw the "larger picture" and realized he had to tackle head-on the thinking behind such a law, if he was ever going to have a hope of changing the law. Darrow lost the case, but he won a much bigger battle that day that Bryan took the witness stand. Darrow was also a very outspoken agnostic. This is an essay that he wrote on that subject.

Death Through the Eyes of an Agnostic Atheist
An eternity existed before I was born and an eternity will exist after I die. Life is but a short distance of the needle hitting the vinyl on a never ending record. Everything that makes up our identity is in the physical brain. Our personality, sense of humor, mannerisms, memories, mood, cognitive ability and all our mental strengths and weaknesses are not eternal. Physical trauma and chemical imbalances within our skull can change us. There is no rational reason to believe that we exist after our physical brain shuts down. The thought of immortality is seductive. The ability to view the world 100 and 1000 years from now is desirable. Wouldn't it be nice and comforting to believe that our lost loved ones will someday be reunited? These dreams only exist for those who can believe based on convenience, desire, fear and supernaturalism. Other people like me are not capable of such faith. Our beliefs are built on reality as in what we know to be tangible. We keep our knowledge of the natural world and our beliefs closely aligned. We don't allow our faith to linger in fantasy. Rationality has overcome the survival instinct. We are all human beings on this earth for a short period of time. No one is deserving of worship and no one is deserving of oppression. Six feet of earth make all people equal. At the end of the game, the king and the pawn go back into the same box. Death is the great equalizer of mankind. The grim reaper doesn't care about status or celebrity. Against ...

Oklahoma Freethought Convention 2011 (speech 1 of 5) - Dr. William Morgan
DR. WILLIAM MORGAN: To the Mountaintop and Down: A True Believer's Journey from Faith to Agnosticism On July 30th, 2011, the Atheist Community of Tulsa held a one-day event at All Souls Unitarian Church (yes...a church). Speakers included Dr. William Morgan, biologist Abbie Smith, The Thinking Atheist, AronRa and Matt Dillahunty. The first speaker, Bill Morgan, has an MA in Political Science and Ph.D in History from the University of Southern California. In 1965, Dr. Morgan was appointed to the founding faculty of Oral Roberts University and rose from Instructor to Professor of History in 1973. He was a true believer. Now an agnostic and private businessman, Dr. Morgan speaks about his experiences at ORU and his journey out of superstition into reason.

The Agnostic Theory
Read my webcomic: kanirabaxter.comicgenesis.com Visit the BionicDance store: www.zazzle.com Twitter: twitter.com "The A-Word" Podcast: theaword.podomatic.com INCORRECT agnostic -noun someone who is basically an atheist, but who gets to not call themselves one because they took what they think is a more neutral name in order to stay out of any conflicts. CORRECT agnostic -noun a person who holds that the existence of the ultimate cause, as God, and the essential nature of things are unknown and unknowable, or that human knowledge is limited to experience. An atheist is someone who doesn't believe in a god; being an agnostic does not get you out of being an atheist, kids. So you think the existence of god is unknowable? Fine...you're an agnostic. But what do you BELIEVE, regardless of the knowledge you have? Because unless you DO believe a god exists, you're an atheist, even if you're ALSO an agnostic. Fucking cope.

Richard Dawkins Says He's Agnostic -- NOT atheist
Richard Dawkins, formerly the world's most famous believer in atheist Dogma™, has officially converted to agnosticism. Make no mistake, fan bois -- he clearly states that he is NOT an atheist. Because there is no evidence at all for atheist Dogma™, he has finally come to terms with the fact that it is illogical and irrational to posit the silly claim that God could somehow not exist. Actually, I have gained a lot of respect for the man, because this kind of honesty is truly a virtue. I wonder how many of his mindless followers (if any) will begin to develop some intellectual honesty on this philosophical point now, as he has done -- honesty that has been glaringly absent thus far. If any of them do, that would be refreshing. God bless you, Mr. Dawkins!
Agnostic Front - Gotta Go
Band : Agnostic Front - Gotta Go ( www.facebook.com ) Album : Something's Gotta Give (1998) Label : Epitaph Records Link to Buy : ( www.interpunk.com ) REVIEW: From the founding fathers of New York Hardcore "Something's Gotta Give" is without a doubt one of AF's finest recordings ever. It skillfully blends the rawness and power of their early releases with the maturity they now posses. The title track sets the pace. Brutally aggressive music with smart lyrics and catchy choruses. Some outstanding tracks are the title track, "Believe and Voices," the sure to please "Gotta Go," with back up vocals by label mates Rancid, and surprisingly, the classic iron cross song "Crucified" a stable in their live shows.
Edward the Agnostic
Let's go over this for the record: Gnostic Theists- claim to know that god exists, therefor they believe. Gnostic Atheist- claim to know that God doesn't exist, therefor they don't believe. (both of which are arrogant and faulty positions in my opinion) Agnostic theists- admit they don't know for sure if God exists, but they still believe (s)he does. Agnostic atheists- admit they don't know for sure if God exists, but they still don't believe (s)he does. If someone asks you, "do you believe in God?" it's not the same as asking you, "does God exist?" For me, the answer to question A would be, "No, I'm an atheist." The answer to question B. would be, "I don't know- I'm an agnostic." That's why I identify as an agnostic atheist.

He says his visitation was cut because of his religious beliefs. The father argues being agnostic cost him everything. For the past four years, Craig Scarberry lived his life like many divorced dads; sharing 50 custody of his three children. Last week, Craig Scarberry got news that his time with his kids would be cut to just four hours a week and every other weekend. "Anybody who's been around me and my children for five or 10 minutes can see the love and the bond that's there," Scarberry told Fox59 News. Searching to find out why, he found Judge George Pancol wrote, "the father did not participate in the same religious training as the mother, and noted that the father was agnostic. It goes on to say that when the father considered himself a Christian, the parties were able to communicate relatively effectively. "I had never imposed by religious beliefs on my children, matter of fact, our kids go to a Christian daycare, that when we had joint legal ...

Atheist Myth #2: "Jesus is not a historical figure" - Debunked by AGNOSTIC scholar Bart D. Ehrman
Some fundy atheists actually believe that Jesus never existed. Agnostic Bart D. Ehrman sets the record straight in his new book "Did Jesus Exist?: The Historical Argument for Jesus of Nazareth". You may purchase the book here: www.amazon.com Bart D. Ehrman (born 1955) is an American New Testament scholar, currently the James A. Gray Distinguished Professor of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Ehrman writes about the early Christians, using the term "proto-orthodox" to describe the Christian traditions that would later be defined as orthodox. He describes 1st- and 2nd-century Christians as not yet having a unified, orthodox tradition. He is the author of a number of books in this area, including Misquoting Jesus (2005), God's Problem (2008), and Jesus, Interrupted (2009). In his books, he recounts his youthful enthusiasm as a born-again, fundamentalist Christian, certain that God had inspired the wording of the Bible and protected its texts from all error.[2] His graduate studies, however, eventually convinced him that one ought to acknowledge the contradictions in the biblical manuscripts rather than attempt to harmonize or reconcile discrepancies. He remained a liberal Christian for fifteen years but later became an agnostic after struggling with the philosophical problems of evil and suffering. en.wikipedia.org
