lol,, cute

This doesn't rule out blind faith. The position I am describing is
is an agnostic position called fideism: belief in God purely on faith. Agnosticism also only has to do with only SOME things being unknowable (the supernatural). Otherwise, personal experience

would be invalid as well. The view that one can only know from experience is a radical stance on the reliability of the senses, which is a completely different philosophical argument than the nature of truth.



This is circular logic, and it undermines the subtle intonations of the word belief. I feel a more adequate definition would be: a CHOICE to accept a PROPOSED truth. Yes, to know in your mind that a belief is true is (according to agnosticism) impossible because it is indicative of there being evidence, but this point is not relevant when attempting to reconcile belief with agnosticism.




What you are describing is more akin to epistemological nihilism.



Yes. He can never KNOW for CERTAIN. This does not rule out faith or belief. It simply defaults the logic to settling, without proof, on either A.yes, B.no, or C.no comment. Whether or not you've chosen C has nothing to do with agnosticism, it only has to do with your stance therein.



I define atheism (broadly) as the rejection of theism due to a lack of empirical evidence (there is no empirical evidence, therefore God does not exist), and I agree with you. It doesn't make you an atheist, and it was not my intention to imply that you were. If you were to take the stance "I find no compelling reason to believe in the existence of God, therefore i chose not to" you would be an agnostic-atheist.

p.s. I post "lots-o-words" because i have fun thinking about this stuff and it gives debaters more bits to counterpoint-- which basically furthers everyones purposes and helps us all consolidate and further our own arguments and sharpen our intellects. I assure you all that no insult or condescention is intended, and I'm not making an attempt to "look smart". I am be just havin' fun b*otches!

The truth is I cannot prove everything but I at least know better than to accept "truth" from a snakeoil salesperson.

Any of you know this snake? She was a porn star and is now a thief.

So - by your own words - there is absolute truth. since there are no absolutes, your statement cannot be absolutely true, and is therefore - false.

Conclusion - there must be absolute truth. And that is an absolute.

we dont have a truth. our hearts are deceitful and wicked above all things. we are prone to lie. the truth is not in no one. No not one.
God's Spirit is Truth. That is the only truth we have and will ever know.
