Prayer What An Agnostic Atheist Thinks
from Open Minds Hosted by Openly Voluntary - Shepard Thinks ...
-No really my friend, what is YOUR reason-based, rational, intelligent purpose for praying? There is a difference between knowledge and belief. Knowledge is a subset of belief: Belief: Acceptance that a proposition is likely true. Knowledge: A belief backed by strong reason and evidence (truth)-- to the level of almost asserting that one cannot be wrong. Belief- Theist / Anti-Theist / Atheist: -Theist: "There's probably a god." -Anti-Theist: "There's probably not a god." -Atheist: "I lack a belief on the topic." Knowledge- Gnostic / Agnostic: -Gnostic: "I know that god definitely exists / does not exist." -Agnostic: "I don't know." Valid combinations: -Gnostic Theist: "God definitely exists." -Agnostic Theist: "God probably exists but I cant be certain." -Gnostic Anti-theist: "God definitely does not exist." -Agnostic Anti-theist: "I'm pretty sure god doesn't exist but I cant be certain." -Atheist: "I hold no position on the topic." Invalid combinations: -Gnostic Atheist: "-null- definitely -null-." -Agnostic Atheist: "I'm not certain about -null-."
