    Did Gnostic Christians wore the latin cross?

    Not unlikely. Take Valentianism for exemple, which was well around 3rd or 4th century Rome: Valentinianism is a Gnostic movement that was founded by Valentinus in the second century AD. Valentinianism was one of the major Gnostic movements. Its influence was extremely widespread, not just...

    *Theists* Classical Theism or Theistic Personalism? And why?

    That depends. A transcendent God that is both omniscient and omnipotent *knows* everything. He probably designed the Universe in such a way that life forms (such a human beings) were intended to emmerge eventually in His Creation. Perhaps that is the whole purpose. That is a strong connection...

    *Theists* Classical Theism or Theistic Personalism? And why?

    Agnostic Theist. I believe in a Supreme Intelligence, God, so I suppose that makes me a Theist. But I don't claim to know anything for certain about the properties and attributes of the Creator, which remains a complete mystery to me, so there's some kind of agnosticism there. (This is also a...

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    A lot of atheists are also materialist therefore do not accept a First Cause, afterlife or any transcendant outlook on life I have read A Universe From Nothing by Lawrence Krauss recently and what I get from Krauss' perspective is that we are biological robots living meaningless lives in a...

    No Chess in islam.

    I think they see chess as a way for people to develop intellectual skills and critical thinking so ultraconservative religious leaders perceives it as a threat. What if some people start questionning their religion and governement because they see the logical flaws in them?

    Does God want everyone to believe in him?

    The free-will argument has been developped more extensively by Theist philosophers in the last century. As pertaining to your post: I don't think you can 'know' God even with a revelation and the mistake is to start thinking that it is the ultimate Truth. It's a personal thing. I don't see...

    Does God want everyone to believe in him?

    The free-will argument usually serves as a good defense against your point. God gave us reason and free will. If He reveals Himself in a direct manner and interfere with our evolution as spiritual entites in human form than that undermines our free will and the whole experience of living.

An agnostic theist believes in the existence of at least one deity, but regards the basis of this proposition as unknown or inherently unknowable. It can also mean that there is one...

    Difference between Agnostic Theism and Deism

    Thanks. Can Agnostic Theism be applied only to the properties of God(s)? For exemple, I do believe in God and I think His existence can be revealed through mystical experiences, revelations, meditation, awakenings ect. but I do not claim to know about the properties of the Divine.

    How can there be more than One God?

    I usually try to avoid the word 'God' if possible because it has because so enmesched with Abrahamic religions and it's teachings that people don't always understand what I mean. To many people, a concept of 'God' that is not external from the Universe is nonesensical. 'God' is to me the...
