[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agnostic is the belief that something either is or could be out there but that man doesn’t know what it is. If you look at religion historically, it has always been used as a societal tool by man to acquire power and resources and control others. Religion was the first form of government and religious rules the first form of codified societal norms. It serves a purpose but religion like government unchecked is always corrupt as power inevitably corrupts.[/quote]

"Agnostic" simply means you "don't know" ("Gnostic" = "knowing" or knowledge).

You can be both Atheist and Agnostic, and most atheists consider themselves both. Many Theists do as well.

There are many degrees and definitions of "not knowing"  of course.[/quote]

I am not agnostic. I am an atheist. I know there is nothing. If you aren’t sure, you are agnostic. [/quote]

And your point is....?  Note the words "most" and "you can be both" in the post you are responding to.

ps you make that claim you have the same burden of proof as a theist.  What is your evidence there is "nothing"?  And you need to define "nothing" first as well. (I think you might mean to say there isn't anything supernatural).   Not trying to be argumentative but I don't like double standards.[/quote]

There is no burden of proof in faith. There what faith means: belief without proof. [/quote]

No, there is a burden of proof to ANY claim.  Unless you are illogical and you ignore it.  Only religion and a few other whacky ideas seem to inspire that position.[/quote]
