An Atheist And Agnostic Person.. by imstillnovice: 2:35pm On Jul 06, 2017 |
Is there a difference between atheists and agnostics, or are they just two names for the same thing? |

Atheists are people who deny or reject the existence of God mostly based on ignorance , poor reasoning and emotions while agnostics are people who are not certain about God's existence . Agnostics are open minded , reasonable in their skepticism while atheists are usually closed minded , rabid and have the illogical reasons why they say there is no God . I don't think there are any more differences . 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Theism/atheism speaks to what you *believe*. Gnosticism/agnosticism speaks to what you *know*. One can claim to be a gnostic theist (very common), an agnostic theist (far less common but not unusual), an agnostic atheist (virtually all atheists are this), or a gnostic atheist (these are incredibly rare, and will usually clarify their position by stating that they only take this position regards to specific god claims, as Matt Dillahunty does). Richard Dawkins, easily the most famous atheist advocate, calls himself an agnostic atheist, because he does not believe, but he does not claim to know for certain. I myself claim to be mostly an agnostic atheist. To the specific claim of the Abrahamic god, I will go so far as to claim gnostic atheism - not because of any special knowledge on my part, but simply because I have yet to hear a description of this deity that passes so much as basic logical coherence. There may yet be a god - but if we do discover one someday, it most likely won't be the one the bible/Koran/Torah/Mormon etc talks about. 1 Like |

Deicide: Emotions ? I think you read it with an angry tone maybe because of your hate-filled heart for God I think you are the one who is emotional here . Change your mood . |

KingEbukasBlog:I think you should read it yourself, for example, @bolded was my quote to you saying anything about God? |
