you can't choose what to believe based on advantages. "i want to go to heaven so i think i'll be a christian." nope, that doesn't work. you believe what you believe. you can choose how well to educate yourself and what to make of the education, but you can only recognize what you believe, not choose it. so advantages are kind of irrelevant, aren't they?

Top 5 Reasons
- No bible to carry!
- You get to keep your money... No tithing!
- Sunday mornings are free for you to do as you wish!
- YOU are in control and can no longer blame shit on someone who doesn't exist!
- You get to pick YOUR OWN co-pilot!

A good start
In short, the acceptance in being comfortable with "not knowing" instead of making up some narrative to an outdated dogma when science has taught us multitudes more than religions have about everything! Seems pretty permanent to accept that you can choose to always be learning, and to me that is advantageous!

So, this post is directed only to agnostics, not atheists, am I right?
A week or two back I posted my concern, actually annoyance, that there are too many posts like this addressed to agnostics, leaving it unclear whether it was just for agnostics, or really intended for all nonbelievers, and posters just thinking that since this site is called agnostic.com that it is ok just to say agnostics. I got criticised by some, saying that posts addressed to agnostics should be ignored by atheists like me. Others said that of course posts are directed to nonbelievers alike. So, you tell me. I still find this annoying. I, myself, do not specify a particular group unless I have a reason to do so.

I just don't care...if someone post on a public forum, and I feel like commenting,....I don't need a specific invitation.
@HankSherman I think people should take more care in their posting.
Forever just depends on the legacy you leave behind.

Like your thought on the future.
I described myself as an agnostic for many years, mainly to avoid causing conflict with people. Now I'm too old to give a flying fuck what anybody thinks of me.

Hear, Hear and Amen my friend.
I would not leave it to my funeral to find out.
Nothing is forever but with agnostic, you'll be wasting less time worrying about non existent entities.

I am Agnostic about this "nothing is forever" statement.
@jlynn37
I will die.....nothing is forever
My legacy will vanish in due time and no one will remember me.... nothing is forever
Everthing I have build will disapear....nothing is forvever
Cities die when job goes away.... nothing is forever
Countries get vanquised and become something eles.... nothing is forever
The sun will run out of fuel and engulf the earth...... nothing is forever
The universe will keep expanding forever until everything will get frozen to death...nothing last forever
Our best bet is that gravity will win the expansion battle and then the universe will start to compress back to the beginging to a great big crunch and then start all over again in which case NONE of what we know today would survive and everthing will have to start (If ever again) from the begining in the next cycle......no my friend, nothing absolutely NOTHING last forever
…… thought about it more closely now. Nothing last forever but the scenario where the universe continues to expand forever to become this infinite space of nothingness where everything will be cold dead nothing... THAT nothing will last forever, if that happens to be the case
@jlynn37 this is a great topic to talk about. As a pun I would say that nothing is carved in stone. We could keep talking about it and little by litlte we could discover new angles to the story. That's the beauty of thinking about almost anything. Your opinion is important, no doubt at all. Thanks for your comment.
