Isn't an agnostic just an atheist without balls?
The mystery of the beginning of all things is insoluble by us; and I for one must be content to remain an agnostic.
I do not consider it an insult, but rather a compliment to be called an agnostic. I do not pretend to know where many ignorant men are sure - that is all that agnosticism means.
Rather than say he's an atheist, a friend of mine says, 'I'm a tooth fairy agnostic,' meaning he can't disprove God but thinks God is about as likely as the tooth fairy.
There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies?
I know of no wars started by anyone to impose lack of religion on someone else. We have lethal Sunni v Shia, Catholic against Protestant, but no agnostic suicide bombers attack crowded atheist pubs.
I am an agnostic; I do not pretend to know what many ignorant men are sure of.
You happen to be talking to an agnostic. You know what an agnostic is? A cowardly atheist.
I will never come around to the idea of an anthropomorphic God. I'm also uncomfortable with the word 'God'... I'm agnostic about the answer and I'm agnostic about the question.
I think of myself as a positive agnostic. I don't know, therefore I'm open. I don't know, therefore I'm interested.
