I put humans above Gods.

I do have control over how I play those cards.

The most important instance of things that exist above things that do not exist.

above peanut butter above gods. What do you call that?

but since I don't have the answers I leave it at agnostic

.....that's wrong, I'll ask you to "prove it'. And you can try to prove a negative, without much success, just like the atheists.

The onus is on you to prove your statement otherwise its just as valid as me saying I have a unicorn in my back pocket.

comes up with. I bet it would make our big questions seem pretty small, to understate it a bit...

a god when the people worshiping him are the worst sinners. I don't understand how there are people way smarter than me that beleive. It is like Trump, how can people claim to be Christians and support Trump, a man that is pure evil?

I think it best describes my view of the world, particularly after last Tuesday.

"I don't care."

I mean, I don't even care enough to not believe.

Then there was the apathetic agnostic. She didn't know and she didn't care.

"I'm an an apathist. It's the opposite of zealot."

Hard atheism is illogical. I read a book on an unrelated subject written by a professor at Oxford who used the term "unknowable other" to fill the gap in the philosophical equation that forbids the use of an absolute for the existence or nonexistence of a deity. I just say I'm atheist. It's easier.

Atheist: someone who does not believe there is a “god”.
Agnostic: someone whose position is that we don’t, and likely cannot, know if there is a “god”

As only someone who has had specific, in-person, firsthand experience (despite what many, many people would claim, the number of people who fit this description is likely zero), would actually know, we’re ALL agnostic.

As an overly logical/rational person, I consider myself to be atheist. As someone intelligent enough to recognize that I cannot prove anything, I am also agnostic.

I don't have to prove something doesn't exist to not believe in it. That is absurd. I dont have to prove that the tooth fairy doesn't exist, that Santa doesn't exist, that Bugs Bunny doesn't exist, that The Great Spaghetti Monster doesn't exist, that Zeus doesn't exist. I don't have to do any of that and yet they are not real are they?

And I didnt spill the milk! Cup had a small hole in it.

My existential question has always been:

How is there anything? If our universe started with the Big Bang, where did all that mass and energy come from in the first place?

Humans do not have the perception and intellect to prove an answer to that question.

"God" has always been the easy answer, and religions provide reassurance of eternal life to mortals.

Of one thing I am fairly certain:
Man created God in man's own image. In a universe this vast, we nevertheless anthropomorphize.

The disdain various organized reliigions have earned shed no light on the existential question.

I'm indifferent to whether or not a god or gods exist or don't exist.

To take it a little further, I don't care if there's a god or not, and religion doesn't impact my life in any way (unless I have to attend a wedding/funeral/etc., then I don't have much choice - I'm still indifferent to the religious aspects as long as they're not overt), but I also don't really care if anyone else believes there is, as long as they don't try to force those opinions on me or others, and those opinions do not impact the lives of others.

Some people need to believe in something, for various reasons, which is fine as long as that's as far as it goes. Of course, that's almost never how far it goes.

Agnostic means without or lacking knowledge.
You can be an agnostic theist or atheist. It just means you don't know for sure.

There are some gnostic atheists and theist. They depend on arguments for their proof.
Some hard atheists have a persuasive case such as Aron Ra. But it depends on their own definition of a god.
Notice how gnostic and knowledge both start with a silent letter? What's up with that?

You'll never know by living. Only your dying will tell. DCT

... is, was, and always will be. I'll take science over imaginary Sky Daddies every time.

"Religion is the greatest fomenter of hatred and intolerance in the history of humanity." This, or something like it, has been attributed to H.L. Mencken. By all accounts, he was not a very nice person, but he sure was right about this.

I have long maintained that the sleaziest weasel in the cave said to the biggest bully in the cave, "You be government, and I'll be religion, and we'll have 'em by the short curlies for the next fifty thousand years!" We're seeing, in real time, how that's turned out.

For the record, I taught Sunday School 60 years ago, until I was told that I was not allowed to ask questions. That was the deal breaker.
