Agnostic vs Atheism

[FlrcntKnht]

Agnostic - Not enough evidence in this world to prove a Higher power but you hold out for the possibility there is one

Atheist - You believe in no higher power what so ever. You live you die and become part fo the earth.


I personall y am partial to the Agnostic but after watching the movie the Fountain I feel that Atheism went not presented by someone condescending is very plausible.

Is a point to this thread other than defining two words, and explaining your own personal belief? Are we supposed to argue over this, or what?

I'm not really sure if that's phrased the right way. It's not really holding out for the possibility, it's more of the acknowledgment that a higher power may exist but not in any form described by any religion.

Correct!!
I see myself as both Agnostic and Atheist, but if it came down to a decision between the two then i would be seen as an Agnostic.

First, we will share our beliefs with other people, separating the atheists from the agnostics. Second, those of which who feel that it is their duty to "object"(or wishes to change the views of others) will add water to the seed, which FlrcntKnht has laid and only then will this topic grow into a true argument. Whether or not it is a bad or good root has yet to be determined and no, good intentions does not excuse reckless behavior. If we're lucky, the roots will die out before it can spread throughout Anime Fuel and reach tainted soil. Of course this thread, at first glance, is harmless, but it's only a matter of time. ~Ramble DIES~

Discussion of religious articles, text, details, or any topics that may be directly/indirectly involved or include religion as your only arguement towards somthing.

Anyone know where this came from?

I can't vote for that yet! I would say I am a bit religious but I haven't really read the whole Bible so I won't vote until I research some more about Christianity. I believe pretty much the writings in the New Testaments but I cannot do the same thing entirely with the Old Testament. So, you can say I am somewhere in between being religious and agnostic !!!

[FlrcntKnht]

Why are the religous peopel not posting anything??
I know I can sound alittle aggressive toward you guys but I promise I will try to keep a non-aggressive responses. Yes you are supposed to debate between the these and post why and people can argue and post about believing in aliens and all that goodness.

[Zaraki]

why did you add religious to the poll is my question. i see this as a debate for those who are agnostic and those who are atheists.

[FlrcntKnht]

well it felt wrong to leave out that possibilty besides people who voted that way still came to the page which I thought they would and also voice their opinion but that seems to not be happening

What a pointless debate..we are all going to walk empty handed anyway...you can't make a person disbelieve something if he "firmly" believes it..
