explain please. because all "agnostic" tells me is that you have no claim of knowledge. are your beliefs leaning more towards God(s) existing or not existing, or do you just not know? if it's in the middle then ok, but if it's to one side or the other you are either theist or atheist.

i just think that we don't and really can't know, at least at the moment, if there is a "god" or not. i disagree with theists and atheists but this i can fully agree with lol

I lean towards atheism, but I still would consider myself agnostic, even though I don't have NO claim of knowledge. I just think that there are way many things we have no chance of ever knowing, and that to deny that there is a god person is almost as naive as to have faith in the biblical god. I haven't made my mind up entirely, I guess.

I meant we don't know everything about everything so we should be careful about what we claim does not exist.
I accidentally told my mother I don't believe in god, and now I feel like a real asshole. Waiting for the right moment to pretend to regain faith. That's my main problem with these militant atheists. They actually preach to these kids that they should come out as atheists. What good can come from that? It's just cruel.

I'd have to say I'm a Pantheist. I think the universe and God are one of the same, merely reflections of a mirror.

Quote (Greeny) Is God then conscious? Remember, I believe God and the Universe are the same thing, and asking if God is conscious is like asking is the Universe conscious. The Universe doesn't shift just because an individual requests it. Panthiests dont believe in a personal God, for we see that the Universe isn't personal itself. However, most Pantheists are extremely spiritual, and we believe in enlightenment and the cosmic consciousness. I'm still new to it, so I'm still learning.

that sounds cool to me, I think there could be something spiritual out there, just because of things like dreams my father has had, where he's foreseen things in dreams etc. But I don't believe that spiritual force is exactly what the bible or quran etc say it is, I mean how could any of us really know what a creator of everything is. To me those writings might have spiritual inspiration, but to me most of it is either symbolic, moral tales and guidelines, or things that don't even apply to us today, like in the old testament a lot of it is just writing about the jews own personal experiences, not stuff that was meant to be applying to us.
