agnostic
An agnostic is a person who believes that the existence of a greater power, such as a god, cannot be proven or disproved; therefore an agnostic
wallows in the complexity of the existence of higher beings.
Agnostics on religion (Christianity, Islam, Buddhists, etc): Religious zealots are often viewed as ignorant by
agnostics’ because of their blind following of a supreme being which may or may not exist. Agnostics will often question the existence of a supreme power because a lot of modern religious beliefs have no basis in modern logic; therefore blind following of popular religions is viewed as an
easy out for people who chose not to think for themselves. Agnostics on atheism: On the other end of the spectrum, unlike atheists, an agnostic uses a more scientific approach to their belief system. An agnostic knows that just because there is no physical proof of the existence of a
higher being, it dose not automatically mean that one does not exist. An agnostic views an atheist on the same plane as a
religious zealot; often because the belief that human beings are the pinnacle of intelligence and there are few things that we do not or have the potential to understand.The realization of knowing that “we cannot know everything” is the backbone of the agnostic belief.

Someone who does not think there is enough evidence to prove or disprove God's existence. It's a valid viewpoint.
Some people say
agnostics can't make up their mind or do their research on what to believe. I did my research on different religions and philosphical beliefs, and I made up my mind. And now I'm an agnostic. Deal with it.
Oh, and
agnosticism isn't weak atheism. Atheism is believing that there is no God. You can be an agnostic athiest - one who doesn't believe in God. You can an agnostic
deist - one who believes in a higher power. What you believe is different from what you know.
Example:
An agnostic is someone who does not think there is enough
evidence to
prove or disprove
God's existence.

Litteraly meaning a lack of claim to knowlege. Generaly is refering to a lack of claim to knowelge about the possible existance of god(s).
One can be an
agnostic theist. Meaning that while they personally believe in a god they are open to the idea that they could be wrong. Or an
agnostic atheist who personally believes there is no god(s) but also admits they have no real way of knowing the truth.
The term agnostic is ment to be used in conjunction with the words theist or atheist but will often be used as a stand alone deffinition of ones beliefs.
Agnostic's will often be split in the middle of these two phiolsophys.
Is the opposite of gnostic- meaning a claim to knowlege.
Example:
Agnostic person: "I don't think its possible to tell if there is or isn't a god but I respect your beliefs as long as your not
murdering or raping people as part of them."
Other
agnostic person: "We will find out the truth on this issue when we are dead and I would not care to die
sooner just to find the answer."

One who is neither ignorant enough to believe that
there is a god, nor self centered enough to believe that if there was a god, he would
give a flying fuck about what they do on sundays, what they
eat on fridays, and what kind of facial hair they have.

Someone who would like
proof of God before devoting their whole life to him/her, but acknowledges
that there is a possibility God exists. They often believe that people who state either 'yes' or 'no' are too
close-minded.
Example:
An agnostic does not have
proof that God exists. They look for it, but more often than
not never find it.

One who believes that it is impossible to prove whether a
supreme being (or a 'God') exists or not. An
individualist who has finally realised that the statement 'Billions of mindless
drones can't be wrong' is bull.

A person that doesn't believe in anything. They don't know if God does or doesn't exist, and they don't let it bother them.
Contrary to some of the other bullshit definations
on here, they aren't indicisive
cowards or pussies. Don't let some
fuckhead convince you otherwise.
