sup intellectuals, I'm Bob, I observed that whenever I come on NL religion section I see a lot of miss informed freethinkers labelling themselves Agnostic atheists after reading some New atheists Propaganda memes suggesting agnosticism and atheism are not mutually exclusive, but being a free thinker means u are suppose to question everything (even your new beliefs) right and seek for the truth right? now let's do some truth seeking shall we?

most widely known misconception about Agnosticism by pseudo intellectuals is that is is a Knowledge claim, how true is this? let's start with the definition of Agnosticism by T H Huxley, AKA Darwin's Bulldog, the guy who coined the word.

Agnosticism is of the essence of science, it simply means a person shall not say he KNOWS or BELIEVES that which he has no scientific grounds for professing to know or believe - T H Huxley. (see below post for Huxley's work on Agnosticism)

from this definition, if you are intelligent, you will understand that Huxley's agnosticism is not just about Knowledge but beliefs as well, so where do y'all get your information from? Dawkins? Sam Harris? random memes? well u just saw the definition from the guy who coined the word agnosticism himself, if you are honest then you should think about this.

now let's say we agree to the claim that Agnostics refers to knowledge claim, it's still an entirely illogical and contradictory construction. if agnostic should mean "Does not know" then to make a judgment when asked if God exists is illogical, as we can see, the statement " I do not know if it's raining but I believe its not raining is absurd but dont forget many pseudo intellectuals claim agnostic atheist means " one does not know if there is a God but believe there is no God" so my question is if you don't know, why do u believe there isn't? why don't u just say " I don't know" ? remember, saying u don't believe still means u get Burden of proof like the Theists that says he believes in God/gods. just thought I should share this so one free thinker can become less ignorant.


My nxt post will be about BURDEN OF PROOF any why it falls on both one claiming the Existence of God and the One claiming Non Existence. I'm a Deist by the way (Believe in Intelligent first cause God, rejects revealed religion and it's claims on the grounds of reasoning) , also the founder of Nigerian Union of Deists whatsapp group 07034362071 if any of u is interested , just add up.

I also don't get why atheists try to redefined the term "atheist" to mean something it doesn't, they should just stick to the standard definition of atheism - the belief that there is no God instead of calling themselves agnostic.

I'm atheistic agnostic

They have seen the foolishness there in.
As a result, they seek a beautiful escape by proclaiming "Agnostic"
Not knowing "Agnosia" means "No knowledge" in greek.
