The same here. What I can't decide is the "importance" of the existence of gods? That's what I am undecided on. So I am stuck in the middle of Sunstone about the importance, where he said:booko said:I'm still agnostic, not in the sense of "undecided" but in the sense of "the existence of god(s) cannot be proved."
That's simply great. I am perched on another fence, and my backside was already hurting before this. Banging my head against the wall :banghead3 doesn't help my posterior. It only just gives me a splitting headache.:thud:Sunstone said:The agnostic who thinks the question of deity is undecidable, but important, or the agnostic who thinks the question of deity is undecidable and of little or no importance?
It would be very remarkable indeed. However, I am not going to hold my breath for it.lamplighter said:I think proving the existance of a higher power would be remarkable
I don't understand the value of the question.lamplighter said:Why is being Agnostic so hard for some followers of organized religion to understand?

What is your definition of 'agnosticism'?lamplighter said:But it seems as though some cannot imagine questioning the validty of human writen texts.
Ah, if you check the date of lamplighter's post you'll see it was made over five years ago, and checking his posting history the last time he communicated on RF here was February 8, 2011. Pretty good bet he's not around to answer.lamplighter, how about answering Jayhawker Soule's question... What's your definition of 'agnosticism' (or 'agnostic')?
How about Merriam-Webster: "1. a person who holds the view that any ultimate reality (as God) is unknown and probably unknowable; broadly: one who is not committed to believing in either the existence or the nonexistence of God or a god; 2. alternatively: a person who is unwilling to commit to an opinion about something."

Which do you have a harder time understanding, Djamila: The agnostic who thinks the question of deity is undecidable, but important, or the agnostic who thinks the question of deity is undecidable and of little or no importance?
