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?

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.

I say I'm agnostic because I see no eveidence that proves or disproves the existence of a God. Once science is able to do either of these than that will change, I'll Either become an Atheist or Anti-diety because I certainly would want to worship a God that lets the worldnbe thebway it is.

I am of Freethought, a Freethinker if you will. I'm thinking that is most true of most Aagnostic.com.

If there was an all powerful god that required worship he certainly would be powerful enough to make himself known. The question then would be what created the creator. Evolution explains our existence. These three premises are why Atheism is the best default position.

I am an atheist because I have not seen evidence that supports the god(s) hypothesis, i.e. that they are real. I am an agnostic because I am not 100% sure that I am correct. Could there be some race of beings out there, somewhere in the universe that have evolved to a point that they would fit our description of a god? I'm not sure if we can ever clearly say "no." We can only claim that "we haven't found any evidence to support that statement yet." The evidence I have seen boils down to "I don't understand, therefore god," some sort of philosophical exercise that doesn't inform observable reality, or "I just feel that it's real" which is no evidence, only the same intuition that leads people to think a bowling ball will fall to the earth faster than a tennis ball when dropped under the same conditions.

Mostly "I detest Christians" i guess?

I'm an agnostic/atheist if you can deal with that. As a younger man I was tricked into believing in a god and I studied to be a Pentecostal minister. Wanting to know things, I studied much more than just the bible. I was in my 60's when it all rang true. There are no gods and no evidence of gods. There is no evidence that gods wrote you a book and told you what to do. No evidence of gods wanting to be in touch with you. The bible as we know it today came some 300 plus years after Jesus, who himself might be a composite of more than one man. Prophesy in the bible is contrived in order to make it fit the situation. Jesus is about as real as Zeus or Jupiter. You do not have or possess a "soul" and there is no proof that you are doing anything or going anywhere after death.

Do my beliefs scare me in any way? No, I'm more free right now that I have been in my whole life.

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.

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.

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.
