Atheism = I dont know but its not God = close-mindedness

Agnosticism = I don't know , it could be God , it could anything = open-mindedness

Busayorafael:

You jump at every opportunity to discredit atheism. Most of your comments I've read are rife with childish tantrums. You know not how to engage dissent. Do you feel threatened when someone disagrees with you?
And Moreover, how old are you?

Also, the possibility is questionable. I ask how such a complex being could have come from nothing

felixomor:
Agnotists are still better than aethists.
They are sincere enough to be open minded.
Many who are even agnotists think they are aethists,
And they dont know they are agnotists.

I am agnostic atheist. I don't believe in any god but I cannot say there is not one.

But atheists know it all They know all reality That's why they claim there is no God.
Don't fall for it when they include "until evidence is provided.". That addition has nothing to do with atheism, it is only added to make them sound reasonable.
Then they go on to spend their lives talking about God and religion. I like to think of them as angry-theists.


Most of those kinds of people who are "sincere" are agnostics at best. Except of course, you are sure of everything.

Toyolad:
There is no argument strong enough to totally eliminate the possibility of the existence of God.
No one know it all.
No one can explain reality.

.
And no argument is reasonable enough to prove that there is God.
As soon as you try, you instantly call yourself a fool.
.

This is obviously a battle ground for theists and atheists.
But someone is without this fight, the newly born. He doesn't have an idea of God not a reason to disagree with such an idea.
Though he'll later be forced into one party, he is yet free of the burden.
.
But this distinction is contestable. Such a person who neither believes in God nor in the non existence of God is only possible in philosophy. To the regular theist, 'you are either for us or against us', he is thus an atheist for them.
But within my context, such a view blessed with illiteracy. Since, just because there is no war doesn't mean there is peace.
.
But such a person, really is the natural man/woman. She is not yet corrupted with the burdens of fears or the so called realized freedom, nor is he any reason to like or hate some class of people.
.
Thus, atheism or theism are corruption to the natural / real man/woman.

One without knowledge of atheism or theism will be an atheist I.e a new born baby will grow up an atheist. Primitive humans knew nothing about religion, the corrupted idea came up later. Atheism is the natural way of thinking. It's the right path.

If a friend tells you a tree is right in front of your door and you go out to check it out and can't find one, then you can reasonably say there is no tree in front of your door.

If he says the tree is invincible or can't be perceived by any of your sense organs you are not wrong to call him stupid and feel right about your judgement. This is the stand of atheists.

Or rather, you don't know the correct meaning of atheist or agnostic.

Atheism is a lack of belief in gods. Agnosticism is position which says that whether a god exists or not, can not be known for certain by human beings. A person can be both, and most atheists actually are both. I too am an agnostic atheist.

Even Richard Dawkins, one of the most active atheist speakers, puts himself at a 6 on a scale of 7, 7 being absolutely sure there is no god, and a 1 being absolutely sure there is. Both 1 and 7 are positions of Gnosticism - which no truly openminded person could take, and yet most theists do ("The existence of God is known, and I believe it exists" = gnostic theism).

I hope that helps clarify. The terms confused me too before I learned what they really meant.

An Atheist is one believes that there is no god. Check any dictionary

God is eternal . He has always existed

Where's your evidence?

On the other hand it is possible to say that energy is in fact eternal since it cannot be created or destroyed as far as we know.
