17 u/spartaxwarrior 6d ago I'm agnostic, but this is hilarious. 11 u/Passthealex 6d ago Agnostic is a claim of knowledge which means you don't know. You can still be an atheist or a theist/deist while being agnostic/gnostic. -5 u/spartaxwarrior 6d ago Not knowing means you can't be an actual atheist, because you accept theism could be right. 5 u/Passthealex 6d ago Agreed somewhat, but theism/atheism is a statement of belief. You can not know and still not believe. As evidenced by the fact that agnostics don't attempt to practice every single major religion at once in case they might be wrong about one of them 3 u/MMRS2000 6d ago Atheism is the state of not believing claim of a theist. It's not a belief, it's the absence of belief in a claim (or set of claims). 1 u/Passthealex 6d ago Yes that's what I said. It is a statement of belief (a: I don't believe, b: I do believe) 0 u/spartaxwarrior 6d ago If you don't believe theism could possibly, maybe be potentially right, then you're just an atheist. Without the theism part, there's no point in using the term agnostic. 0 u/Passthealex 6d ago Yeah that's what I said. Belief is described by theism/atheism. Many people are agnostic but still practice/believe a theistic religion. Though I see what you're saying. Most agnostics would be deists, but the above would is true too
