    Dudes, get real. Agnosticism is the only natural resting place for the modern human of scientific thought.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agn…

    Read these criticisms. They hardly even qualify as criticisms. It's almost like everyone else (atheists and theists) are like, "Well, yeah, sure, obviously agnosticism is the answer, but but but we believe this other thing” or “well, that’s just being lazy”.

    ALSO GUYS: There are many types of agnosticism! I guarantee you'll find one that you like!!

    Would you like to believe in god, but are smart enough to know it's unprovable? Agnostic Theism is for you!

    Do you want to believe there is no god, and never was? Agnostic Atheism is great, too!

    Don't give a shit one way or the other? Apathetic Agnosticism is your new best friend.

    You can even choose whether you think the existence of god is knowable or unknowable at all! It's so perfect! No more reason to fight, we can all get along. It's the perfect religion, and it fits right in with science! Right along side! No longer do these things have to be one way or the other.

    DEBATE OVER. DEBATE OVER. DEBATE OVER!

    • There you go with 'belief' again. There are a billion reasons to believe gods exist. You just won't except ones that can't be replicated in a lab.Morning_star

    • Yeah, mono. There are no scientific reason. But you're allowed to believe in these things if you like.

    • yes, of course you can believe, but WHY do you believe?monospaced
    • I don't feel there's a compelling reason to believemonospaced
    • Many people believe in things like horoscopes, fate, the kindness of strangers, etc. It's allowed, just don't preach & don't fight about it.

    • fight about it, or try to change science. The vast majority of believers don't interfere with science.

    • Unfortunately they do align themselves with organizations which do. And for that they should be scolded.
