we are all agnostic, to one extent or another,
as no one 'KNOWs'
for a fact, one way or the other. there is no objective, empirical proof, one way or the other.
Agnosticism/gnosticism refers to what one KNOWS,
and theism/atheism/deism refers to what one BELIEVES.
you can be one of each catagory.
It's two different things,
what one believes/thinks/feels,
and what one knows.
One can
believe in a specific named god, (theist)
but not
know with scientific certainty the god exists.
(this person would be a theist/agnostic, like a Muslim/agnostic, or a christain/agnostic, etc, etc, )
One can not
believe in any gods, (atheist)
but not
know with a scientific certainty, that the gods
don't exist. (the burden of proof always lies with those making the claim, though)
this person would be an atheist/agnostic.
One can
believe in a general god with no name, (a deist)
but no specific named gods, and no specific religion,
but not
know this general god exists with scientific certainty.
(this person would be a deist/agnostic)
I think i might be a
dyslexic gnostic, as i believe and i know there is a
dog..
