My husband says, google is his god, because it knows everything and always has an answer for his problem. Who can argue with that? When I read through the many post about people who say their agnostic I can’t help but notice they are referring to the written text they don’t believe in. While others are referring to the religious sector they don’t believe in. Some will say they don’t believe in the teachings of a god. A few will say they don’t believe in a god because of war, murder and all the injustice in the world. Very rarely will you find a post that will explain in the first person why they don’t believe in the existence of god. What are you referring to when you say your an agnostic?

God??, pfff... who gives a hoot.... Grammar on the other hand.... "who say their agnostic" (their, strike one), "when you say your an agnostic" (your, strike two)..... Uuufff.. almost out !!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

Thank you for pointing out grammatical flaws. English is my third language and trying to grasp the concept of its sentence structure nearly drove me bats. . I’ll except your strike against me for my flaws but, let me add, I’m much much more then my mistakes.

@Debbera Well then I know where you're coming from ( figure of speech ). English is my third language too and I have always been grateful and happy with everyone that have had the honesty to point my shortcomings along the way. That's how we learn !! Cheers.

Is there not a group for Grammarians. lol

@ColdFax I wouldn't know....is it?

@ColdFax Yep, we're called Grammar Nazis. We're all over the internet.

@zblaze Fucking Right!

@Debbera you win 🙂

@bbyrd009 What did she win??

@kodimerlyn Thank you, once again, that's how we learn

@zblaze um, self- respect maybe?

I don’t generally ever say that I’m an agnostic by itself. I’m an agnostic atheist. Agnostic means without knowledge and atheist means without belief. I recognize that no one has complete information, but that’s no reason to believe anything for which I have no evidence. The burden of proof is on the person claiming the existence of something. There’s been no god described by any theistic religion that is remotely logically possible and no one has ever offered any credible evidence of the supernatural. If you think you have some get in contact with skeptical magician the Amazing Randy, he has a standing prize of 1,000,000 waiting for anyone who can.

So I can say 100% there is no god so far based on the knowledge humanity has, if you define the scope of god as “something omniscient, omnipotent, and benevolent as described by any theistic religion so far.” If your definition of god is much broader than that, I’m willing to hear it out, although if I come to agree in the existence of whatever you’re calling god I’d probably have to say your use of the word god is a generous, inaccurate, meaningless placeholder of a title, for lack of a better term.

I think you will find that a lot of atheists don't 'disbelieve' in various specific things. We simply don't have any need for supernatural beings in our lives. It is not about texts or moral systems - we just don't need a 'god' to explain anything.

The existence of human failings is because of....humans

IF,,,,there was a "god" then he is doing a crappy job. I am experiencing heart failure. Will have my chest cut open, because "god" made a mistake.

Trust in Dog! Praise the pooch. For he/she will protect you in times of need.
Never heard of a dog that lies. Other than in the yard.

Dogs be praised

Some of us just don’t care if there is or isn’t
I’m 99.99% there isn’t
But I couldn’t give a shit if there was

IF you believe that an all powerful being that created the universe chose an obscure middle eastern tribe to be his chosen people and helped them to defeat their enemies and populate lands promised to them then you are delusional.
Read the pentateuch with an open mind and it is apparent that this polytheistic tribe gradually adopted monotheism to aid their acquisitive behaviour,. so why be agnostic unless of course if you believe that some of the Hindu,Norse,Roman,Greek, other gods may exist.

When I say I'm agnostic I'm saying that I don't know if there's a god or gods, or magic spirits or anything that explains the unknown. I don't substitute any religion for the unknown. I am comfortable with the unknown. The known world gives me plenty to contemplate.

I do not believe in gods of any kind nor do I have a need to create a god. And I don't use labels either. I just don't believe in illogical things that don't make sense at all.

Exactly. Non of it makes sense. Fairy tales, passed down and re-translated over the generations.

The google shits significantly censor the truth. google owns youtube. way many truth tellers have been deplatformed. As well on pinterest, vimeo, reddit, twittee,...

Google and facebook track EVERYTHING about you.

I use fire fox, and duck duck go for search. They do not track anything about you.

I downloaded Google's son Google maps into my heart and now I know where I'm going at all times.😤. He said I am the life, the truth and the way no man gets to his destination without me.

William Blake made a spiritual map about 200 years ago. First you go into Bowlahoola, then Allamanda and then onto the looms of Cathedron. With help from the Daughters of Beulah, you can raise yourself back into Eden where Eternity lives.

I had a student in class once tell me that Siri knew everything.

I asked him to ask Siri what the meaning of life is.

Siri got confused and never answered. The whole class erupted in laughter.

(I just googled it, and google sent me to the wiki entry describing what the question "what is the meaning of life?" entails. Wow. That's really life-changing, google.)

@Amisja Siri wasn't clever enough for that response.

@Amisja I asked Alexa the same question and she said 42 so it must be right.

@Amisja I thought it was white rats? HHGTTU?

Never really had a reason to not believe in God other than I just never believed in God. Nothing pushed me away from God as the belief never sank in. Just sounded too much like a fictional tale that people tried telling me was real, like Santa and the Easter Bunny. Plus, the stories in the bible sounded way too similar to the ravings of my schizophrenic mother..

Don't screw with the Easter Bunny. Warning you!

Please tell your husband his God has crapped all over his 4th amendment.

Welcome to the asylum. Enjoy your stay.

I'm an atheist and anti-theist.
I don't believe in gods, or "holy" books, or any religion, whatsoever.

I've never been agnostic. I've always known it was ALL bullshit.

Come on KK, now you're going to have to explain what a Gnostic Atheist is....lol

@zblaze No. No, I don't.
If anyone wants to know what that is, they can damn well google that shit.
LOL

@KKGator I did. This was the response; "Gnostic means “with knowledge”, that you claim to know something. Atheist means “without god”, that you don't believe in any god. ... However you can combine them to gnostic atheist. Then it means that you don't believe in any god and claim to know that there is no god."

Tough claim to support.

@zblaze Not really. There is absolutely no credible, verifiable evidence, to prove that ANY gods are real, or have ever existed in reality.
So, saying there aren't any isn't really that tough a claim to make.
There is no "there" there.

@KKGator Any claim is easy to make KK. That isn't the point. It is a tough claim to support, verify, prove. It is a claim that you have knowledge[Not Belief] of the non existence of a god; "I've never been agnostic. I've always known it was ALL bullshit."
You've always been an Agnostic, you've never had 'knowledge' that a god does not exist. You might think one doesn't, and obviously lack a belief in a god, but if you had knowledge you would be able to show it, and can't.
The position of a Gnostic Atheist is an 'appeal to ignorance' — the claim that whatever has not been proved true must be false, and vice versa. This impatience with ambiguity can be criticized in the phrase: {"absence of evidence is not evidence of absence":.

@zblaze Please do not tell me what I am. Arguing semantics means nothing to me. If I ever meet a god, I'll change my mind. Right after I get a brain scan.
Until then, I know there aren't any gods.
All religion is bullshit based on nothing more than myth and crowd control.

You are free to call it whatever you please. This is as far as I'm going in this "debate".

I don’t believe in god because there is no evidence of one.

You are correct and to my brain, reality shows no indication of god(s).

I'm always thinking in terms of the old guy with the beard.

I don't rule out the idea of god in the religions of the East.
