what's ur view on agnosticism?

i don't really care

i'm pagan, i think to each his own

As an agnostic, I cannot attest to the existence of agnosticism.

I agree... to each his own

The only I know for sure is that Alexis is hot.

Beyond that, who can say for sure about the existence of questioning the existence of God?

I am in the middle of the road concerning agnostics. I can't commit an answer.

I think it's probably the most honest truth a person can have.

What God (if a God exists) could find fault with pure honesty?

All agnosticism is, is a confession that you honestly don’t know.

If that’s your honest truth, then if there is a God (especially one that’s playing hide and seek) how can it find fault with you being perfectly honest about the fact that it plays hide and seek so well that you’ve decided to give up and confess that it wins. You have absolutely no clue where to guess it might be hiding, or if it even exists at all!

All you’re saying is that God wins the game!

Everyone else is trying to beat God and claim they know where God is hiding.

Maybe life’s a test to see how many people are really willing to own up to the truth of what they honestly don’t know?

Then all the agnostics are winning the game of honesty.

Everyone else is pretending to know something they really can’t know. They are lying to themselves as well as lying to God by pretending that they know where God is hiding when in fact they really have no clue.

Nice thread.

Abra Thanks for a very good post. I don't feel the need to add anything!

I think I heard a Chinese folk tale like that. This King has no decedents so he is going to choose one from the young kids in his village. He tells them he is going to test them by giving them a pot with a seed in it to be cared for. At the end of the growing season everyone is to bring the pots back and he will then decide who will be the next king. One kid has his at home and no matter what he does he cannot make the seed grow. He tries, water, fertilizer, sun, no sun, and on and on but no luck. The day comes when everyone is supposed to bring back the plants. As he is walking back he sees that the other kids in the contest have large beautiful plants. When everyone is gathered he sees that he is the only one that has failed.
The King walks around looking at each plant. He seems to be thinking hard at each one. When he gets to the boy he asks him what happened and the boy has to explain his failure all over again. Then the King says to everyone that he has found his successor. This boy that has no plant is the winner. The king explains that he never put a seed in any of the pots and that the boy was the only one honest and brave enough to bring his true work.

It's like Heisenberging Pascal's Wager. It's conceeding that it may be indeed be impossible to prove the non-existent of god while trying to take into account the bias of the observers who claim to have proven it to themselves; but also that, at the end of the day, it may not really matter either way as long as it makes the world a better place for everyone.

I love it Reverend Rabbit!

What would please God more than to bring to him your honest naked truth?
