No one wants to take advice on women from a 35 year old atheist with a "girlfriend" :biglol
Dude...you do know both you and I are probably going to be in the same boat as him right? We both suck at this shit
I'm not some asshole atheist though. I'm agnostic like every other person with a brain,
I'm agnostic too. I find atheism to be more logical, but there still are some fundamental flaws in it. I'm more atheist than not, but still not going to leap into a defiance of absolution.
Where is the flaw in saying that you don't believe in a god? Because that's what atheism is. Theism is the belief in a god, atheism is the lack of that belief.
Some atheists take it a step further and claim that there is no god, but that is not what atheism is.
I would say
Agnostic equals youre not a douche and act like you know everything
Atheism equals you are and act like you do.
08 fits with atheism when it comes to religion, i always thought he was.
I am now agnostic and will never tell anybody that I'm right and they're wrong. While atheist do that all the time
I will only tell someone they are wrong if they say something that is untrue. I believe in the principle of live and let live. There are many atheists that are the same way, and some that are pricks. The same can be said of any religious or philosophical affiliation.[/quote]
But if you are speaking of religious beliefs then you can't tell them they're wrong.
As they are BELIEFS as are yours and mine or non beliefs.
However you believe you are right and they believe they are right.
So as long as you don't tell people they are wrong about their beliefs then is call you an agnostic.
An even if someone is rudeish or prude or whatever about pro religion with me i will be honest but not rude back about why I don't believe. One of those reasons would be "people like them" however i would end my conversation before telling them they are wrong. I would say one of us is wrong and i hopes it's me and maybe ill figure it out before it's over.
