<p>...makes no sense. Sorry, it just doesn't. Anyone who thinks they are smarter than religion and therefore becomes an atheist is completely contradicting themselves. Of course it is impossible to prove the existence of a higher power. It is just as impossible to prove that there is not a higher power. You simply cannot KNOW that there is no such thing as a God. </p>
<p>Agnosticism = the truth</p>
<p>It’s impossible to prove anything aside from thought itself.
It’s all about perception.</p>
<p>Good job pretending that what you read on the wikipedia agnosticism page are your own words.</p>
<p>Wikipedia is pretty much my number one site visited and I didn’t look this up or anything. Seriously. I just felt like making this thread and wrote stuff down.</p>
<p>But, if this is similar to wikipedia then it MUST BE TRUE. Everyone can edit wikipedia so we know all of the best information can be added to the site.</p>
<p>My atheism is based on theological noncognitivism, the idea that theists have failed to define god in a meaningful way. For instance, some theists define god as an omnipotent and omniscient being, but that is a logical impossibility. A being that is omniscient knows all the actions that it is going to take, so it powerless to act otherwise. This contradicts the given fact that the being is omnipotent. I don’t claim to know whether or not there is a god, but I do claim to know that no one has advanced an idea of god which is, to quote Wikipedia, “cognitively meaningful.” Therefore, I can pronounce judgement on certain definitions of god.</p>
<p>I support secular humanism. I believe that only people control their destinies. Why invoke God to explain human behavior?</p>
<p>Oh yeah, you have such a superior mind…</p>
<p>So, to be terse in why I am an atheist instead of an agnostic:</p>
<p>“One cannot disprove the existence of the Flying Sphagetti Monster, nor can his existence be proved. Therefore, there is a distinct possibility that he may exist, and a distinct possibility that he cannot.”</p>
<p>Such a statement is so patently absurd that nobody with even the most rudimentary knowledge of science would even consider the logic of it for a second. The existence of such an all-powerful being is scientifically impossible.</p>
<p>If god created everybody and everything, then who created god? Who created the creator of god? Who created the creator of the creator of god? Who created the creator of the creator of the creator of the creator of god?</p>
<p><em>insert witty casutic comment here</em> ha, take that</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I guess you weren’t around for the big debate over the existence of the future.</p>
<p>Hatersunite, I’m an atheist, and I believe theists are more rational than agnostics. Richard Dawkins commented on Russell’s Teapot: if you claim to be agnostic with respect to god, why are you not agnostic when it comes to tiny teapots orbiting the sun between the Earth and Mars?</p>
<p>Saugus, ‘scientifically impossible’ is such an overused clich</p>
<p>^
Well, by your logic, it’s “not very likely” that Kobe Bryant is secretly the savior of the world.</p>
<p>It’s not possible. Way too outlandish.</p>
<p>It’s very implausible, agreed. Is it scientifically impossible? Definitely not :P.</p>
<p>“Incomprehensible that God should exist, incomprehensible that he should not.”
-Blaise Pascal</p>
<p>That’s why CCism makes so much sense!</p>
<p>Read about deism, it makes a lot of sense? Do I believe in a god? Sure, idk who he is, or what his name is. Does he have any role in our activity? No.</p>
<p>^^ CCism makes zero sense.</p>
<p>CCism is the only religion that accounts for this website, therefore it is the only true religion, because this website is known to exist</p>
<p>I just found out that Issac Newton would have considered me one step away from atheism. [sad5].</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yikes, now that’s a strong justification!</p>
<p>Deism/agnosticism for me…</p>
<p>lol. I guess I’m the only Christian on this site. :)</p>
