Actually, to my knowledge, an Agnostic person is someone who believes that there is SOMETHING out there, but doesn't know what. Or at least, that's what it is to me.

Perhaps you guys should consider that some people in this guild might be religious. >_> Not like super crazy bible-pushing religious though. I hate those people. They give Christians a bad name.Technically, I'm Catholic. When I'm arguing religion, it's not about the belief/disbelief in a deity as much as it is stupid reasoning and beliefs I personally disagree with. I'm sorry if I said something that offended you, though. Nah, you were fine, I was just point out how Kriel and T sounded like they forgot that not all religious people are idiots. @Reg- That would be Agnostic. Not believing anything is Agnostic. believing that there absolutely cannot be a god is Atheism. @T- I understand. Don't worry about it. :3 I was just saying something before we got into religion bashing. WIKIPEDIA! Quote: Atheism is the absence or rejection of belief in deities, or the explicit view that there are no deities. Quote: Agnosticism is the philosophical view that the truth value of certain claims — particularly metaphysical claims regarding theology, afterlife or the existence of deities, ghosts, or even ultimate reality — is unknown or, depending on the form of agnosticism, inherently impossible to prove or disprove.

But I'm absolutely sure there's something, whatever it is. I mean, there had to be SOMETHING that started everything, it couldn't have just always been or appeared out of nowhere. >_> Not sure if it's some form of agnosticism or not.

You can trust when i say I believe in God just as much as the next person.
It's just the one church in particular that I go to that sets me off... and any other like that one. It's a baptist church or soething like that.
Not even the church at my Catholic Elementary school was so aggravating.
At least there one could get in, get out in under an hour.
The one I go to? They have to drone on and on talking about everyhing, INCLUDING the kitcken sink!
They feel they have to really teach what every little verse means and then yap about thier opinions of it. Talk about ad libbing...
At least I can say the adults are nice people, who actually care about me... but that doesn't mean I'm obligated to hang around them all the ding dong day... EVERY conversation turns into something church related with them.

Also, on the topic of atheism...
Atheists don't believe in nothing, that's nihilists. xd

I mean really! All around me, everyone else looks like either white or badly tie-dyed Cousin Its!
While saying that, I too am forced to wear one, not to mention having ot wait forever to change out of them.
All the females take thier sweet time talking, rather than getting dressed and going, which is a pain since the ratio of men to women is like 75:25. Scratch that. more like 90:10.
And one more thing.... if this church is a a Baptist Spirituial church... then why in the worldam I to wear a yarmulke???

Jumping into conversation here...
I just kinda do Religion for the Christmas and for the other challenges like Lent and all that.
I just think of Religions as teachings for how to be a good person and not much else.

I'm one of them. Wait, I was told something different. But that's exactly what I am. "God" could be anything. He could be the relentless a*****e that Christians know him as, or he could simply be the law of nature. We have no way of knowing.
