Re: Lorem!

You've changed your description of your "beliefs" about half a dozen times already. Once a logical hole is shot through the heart of a prior incarnation, you adjust it until that one is destroyed, and etc. etc.

Why not join us in having a steadfast moral code through God? Then you don't have to try and keep up with all that ever-changing relativistic horseshit. Wouldn't it be a relief to have some continuity in your life, to see things in black and white instead of some greyscale situational shaky ground?

It was simply misunderstanding, and me not stating my position regarding morality clearly.

Eh... I'm an agnostic because I haven't seen any actual proof for either positions... Agnosticism is just uncertainty.

Agnosticists are just cowards. They can't decide whether to poop or get off the toilet.

Suppose you can view it as that. Although, I consider agnosticism to be the most intellectually honest position.

Intellectually lazy is more like it.

That's because you don't know what it is.

It is not "uncertainty", as you put it.

Agnosticism isn't the midway point between theism and atheism; it's not even on the same spectrum. Here's a reference. Here are some tidbits:

Theism addresses the issue of belief. For any claim asserting the existence of a god, a theist is an individual who accepts (or positively believes) that the claim is true and an atheist (literally, "one without theism") is someone who does not.

Note that this doesn't mean that theists must accept any existence claim about any god. One can be a theist with respect to some claims and an atheist with respect to others. In particular, followers of one religion are typically atheists with respect to the gods of all other religions.

To be more precise about the issue of belief, consider the two possible claims one can make regarding the existence of a god:

1. The god exists.
2. The god does not exist.

There are two positions one can take with respect to either claim:

1. Belief or acceptance of the claim.
2. Disbelief or rejection of the claim.

For claim number 1 (the god exists), the theist takes the first position (belief), while the atheist takes the second (disbelief).

For claim number 2 (the god does not exist), the theist takes the second position (disbelief), while the atheist can hold either position (belief or disbelief).

...

Gnosticism (in the general sense being discussed here) addresses the issue of what one knows or claims to know. For any claim regarding the existence of a god, a gnostic is an individual who claims knowledge that the assertion is true and an agnostic (literally, "one who lacks knowledge") is someone who makes no such claim.

Obviously, based on these definitions, the terms atheist and agnostic are not mutually exclusive. One can be an agnostic atheist, meaning someone who doesn't claim to know whether or not a god exists (agnostic) but doesn't find belief to be justified by evidence or argument (atheist). Other ways in which the terms agnostic, gnostic, atheist and theist can be combined are discussed below.

As for you? I think you're just a wishy-washy, indecisive twit who doesn't know what he believes because he's never examined his own beliefs, and instead uses big words that he doesn't understand to sound more sophisticated than he is. Like "Moral Nihilism" to mean "I'm a relativist".

I kinda think he will.... he just seems that kind of prevert
