I don't know if i'm just being picky, but the sentence on the front page of Agnostic.com states....Did you use to believe in a God.?.....I'm not really sure this is good english or not...I seem to think that maybe it would be preferable....and better english...to say...or ask....have you ever believed in a God....now i could be wrong and Im sure there are numerous guys out there that will pounce on me...thats fine...I'm only saying it as i see it.!

Agnosticism and secular humanism are nothing if not indecisive... so it makes sense

Now that that's off your chest let's talk about the overuse of ellipsis...

Red alert! Red alert! Grammar nazi on the premises! 😂😂
Actually, it really should be "used to. "

And...
"I'm not really sure this is good english or not..."
Would be better written by replacing "good " with "proper. "

“Used to” is in common usage and is in the dictionary. It’s the way we talk. It really should be spelled with the “d” however.

It is a question that is hard for me to answer. Belief is not a definite thing, cast in stone. Even as a child I was very doubtful of religious dogma along with the fanciful myths about God. Yet I was sensitive to the overwhelming mystery of existence—of my identity as a human. There is something vastly greater to nature than meets the eye. The word “God” does not in any way adequately describe that staggering reality.

Belief and disbelief in God are such shallow responses that I prefer not to answer such a question. Therefore I do not call myself either an atheist or a theist. I am a skeptic, skeptical of just about all assertions about both religion and science.

Regarding religion, the only assertion that I truly believe is: “I do not know the answer and I do not understand the question.

How about. Were you formerly a believer in God ? Comfortable now ?

I love this website just because some of the rivets are missing and the plumbing leaks.

I think it is asking if one was an addict at some point in order to acknowledge the existence of a metaphysical entity ðŸĪŠ
