The best quote to sum up what it means to be an Agnostic and/or an Atheist was spoken by Richard Dawkins "I believe that an orderly universe, one indifferent to human preoccupations, in which everything has an explanation even if we still have a long way to go before we find it, is a more beautiful, more wonderful place than a universe tricked out with capricious ad hoc magic." -Richard Dawkins- This is the one and only time you will hear me rant and rave on the topic of religion. I'm laying out my personal beliefs and the belief system of an agnostic, with a small infusion of Catholism as well. This topic is NOT open for debate, and I have allowed comments for the time being. Please Please Please if you are going to comment, comment on what I actaully say, and do not become negative towards me. To be agnostic is to respect all possibilities, and I respect all religions in that sense, please show me the same respect in return. Simply Put: IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING CONSTRUCTIVE OR NICE TO SAY, THEN SHUT THE FUCK UP! MUSIC: Madonna - Like A Prayer

Daca esti ateu, (ateu ateu) te rog exprima-ti parerea! Vreau sa fiu sincer cu absolut orice dovada pe care o gasesc. Asa ca in acest videoclip am prezentat Argumentul Cosmologic! Nu consider totusi ca este indeajuns acest argument pentru a devenii Deist pentru a stiinta descopera din ce in ce mai multe lucruri. Iar aceste legi fizice de astazi isi pierd cu totul valabilitatea inaintea formarii primului atom de heliu. Alt motiv ar fi ca acest dumnezeu intr-un sens deist este prea crud, prea nepasator. Ar fi mai "moral" din punctul meu de vedere ca Dumnezeu sa nu existe deloc decat sa existe si sa nu il intereseze ABSOLUT DELOC de nenorocirile care se petrec pe zecile de planete din univers. In ciuda tuturor acestor argumente tot am inclinatii spre deism...(controversa ramane deschisa) Nu am citit acest articol dar cred ca este util: http://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_cosmologic Am observat ca videoclipuile sunt gasite si dupa video description: marturie interpretarea biblie supranatural indoctrinare religioasa argumentul cosmologic dovada existentei lui sfaturi dumnezeu teoria tuturor lucrurilor spiritulitate pastor ruda profesor rugaciune respect rugaciune prefacuta toata lumea crede ca are dreptate biblia interpretare raspandirea religiilor pe glob idee preconceputa dumnezeu personal educatie religioasa

All agnostics are either theists or atheists. There are no strictly agnostics. Agnosticism is a separate idea from theism and atheism. There are agnostic theists and atheists. There are gnostic theists and atheists. Theism is the belief in a god or gods. Atheism includes everyone else, without exception. If you're not a theist, you're an atheist.

This video is to inform people of how agnosticism and atheism actually are responses to two different questions. Agnosticism deals with knowledge and atheism deals with belief. A person can be an agnostic atheist or an agnostic theist. This video is also there to let anyone who claims to be a gnostic atheist or agnostic atheist know that they are not alone in their lack of belief in a personal god (not necessarily the belief that there is no god). I have become a huge fan of The Atheist Experience podcast and of The Non-Prophets podcast. I've learned much from the hosts, most notably, Matt Dillahunty. The audio is of Tracie Harris and Matt Dillahunty of The Atheist Experience discussing how agnosticism and atheism relate. Excellent definitions of atheism can be found at Infidels.org and at the Rational Responders' site. The list of atheists comes, predominately, from Wikipedia's list of atheists (extensively notated). The idea for the video came from zakiechan's post a few years ago that listed a number of atheists. Thanks and enjoy.

Agnosticism doesn't take into account what we do know, and what people actually claim about god, which makes it false. Not to mention defeatist. We can learn things about god conclusively. The science, reason, and logic can lead to arguments that count as proofs. God doesn't exist. Ideally that means we can move on to other things, but until belief is gone, what else can we do but engage in the debate that could adjust the structure of how we look at the universe. The last points of evidence that I listed (there are many more and we can go into greater detail with each of these. 61. The existence of ethical dilemmas within your afterlife's construction. 62. The non-existence of anything actually perfect upon which we can reflect. 63. The temporary nature of life and religions inability to explain this. 64. The ability of evolution to explain all biological processes. 65. The ability of geology to explain the Earth's formation and shape. 66. The ability of physics to explain the creation of the universe without a creator. 67. The ability of physics to explain the formation of matter without a creator. 68. The ability of abiogenesis research to explain the formation of duplicating living material without a creator. 69. The weaknesses in the arguments for biblical literalism. 70. The weaknesses in the arguments for creationism. 71. The weaknesses in arguments for intelligent design. 72. The existence of mental disorders. 73. The desire for eternal life and its motivation of individuals. 74. The desire for perfection and its motivation of individuals. 75. The desire for comfort and its motivation of individuals. 76. The desire for parental figures and its motivation for individuals. 77. The desire for security and its motivation for individuals. 78. The fear of death and its motivation for individuals. 79. The existence of emotional instability and its motivation for individuals. 80. The complete failure of any evidence for the supernatural. 81. The petty nature of many religious people concerning minor things. 82. The nonsensical rules supposedly laid down by a perfect being don't fit with their impact on the world. 83. The fact that those rules create discomfort. 84. The fact that those rules create disorder. 85. The fact that those rules create suffering. 86. The fact that those rules aren't consistent between religions. 87. The fact that those rules aren't consistent between religious sects. 88. The fact that those rules aren't consistent between religious believers. 89. The ability to interpret supposedly holy texts in many different ways. 90. The ability to interpret the words of supposedly holy people in many different ways. 91. The commonplace lies that flow from religious zealots about any issue at any time. 92. The attack upon women's rights by the religious. 93. The attack upon human rights by the religious. 94. The attack upon reason by the religious. 95. The convergence of all of these different disparate confirmed and relevant facts upon god's non-existence, which you will reject regardless of argument. All of these along with many more do not fit with a loving, omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, personal god. There is no way that your god exists, and formed the world to make it seem as if he did not. There is no way that he created people to have them suffer, spending lives in pain and eternities without his comfort. There is no way that he set up pleasurable activities just to disallow them. Your god doesn't exist, neither does your heaven or your hell. You have a mind, not a soul, and prayer is talking to yourself.

This presentation gives my reasons for being an explicit atheist - someone who denies the existence of any god or gods and who asserts this denial with certainty - rather than an agnostic - someone who claims that he does not know whether any god exists. See my "Five Arguments for the Non-Existence of God": http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/207912/five_arguments_for_the_nonexistence.html

Is agnosticism a viable philsophical position? Is it even possible to be 'undecided' on the existence of god? I assert that agnosticism is actually a form of atheism. Moreover, the commonly-used definition is misunderstood today, allowing people to escape to a 'middle-ground' that doesn't really exist. Feel free to comment away!

A Breif Introduction to Agnosticism. - By Divine i mean God/Allah/Deity/Jehova/etc any type of higher power that we humans beileve in. - The Music is by Cold Play, Fix You Agnosticism--noun 1. a person who holds that the existence of the ultimate cause, as God, and the essential nature of things are unknown and unknowable, or that human knowledge is limited to experience. 2. a person who denies or doubts the possibility of ultimate knowledge in some area of study. Agnosticism is a philosophical teaching were certain religious claims are not proven threw their views, thus rendering many, if not all, religions false. Most Agnostics reject Gnosticism, Theology, Afterlife claims by opposite religions, the divine views of some opposite religions, and obviously theists. Many times Agnostics are grouped falsely as being with "Atheists" but Atheists believe their is NO God, while Agnostics beileve that we on earth can't actually know if their is one or not threw science nor religion. A Agnostic can still hope for a Divine, but cannot prove their is one. Any other questions feel free to contact me on Youtube - ReformistSin

This is a reply to the video "More like roflthiesm [sic] to Me" by UTNow. One of the better videos I have seen on YouTube, this one actually challenged my beliefs, and I really had to respond to it. I hope you'll enjoy watching. Addendum: Please note, that I am not trying to refute agnosticism as a logic position as such, I am responding to the specific claim that atheism is AS ILLOGICAL as fundamentalist religion.

Tried uploading this once before, but a minute and a half of it were missing (grr). So I try again. This is a response to UTNow's video "More Like Roflthiesm {sic} to Me". Hopefully it is enlightening. I forgot to mention fattychunks in the video. He applied a video he'd already made as a response to this, but I felt I could make it all fit a bit more specifically. Credit goes to him because his copy is obviously in much better shape than mine, in spite of likelihood that his is better read.
