[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've always thought that people who call themselves agnostic use it as a cop out. Too chicken shit to just not believe in god, like they want to give themselves an out just in case. I mean, if you're getting all philosophical, we should all technically be agnostic about everything... like whether or not the sun will rise tomorrow or summer will come, but c'mon...[/quote]

Um, isn't the "just in case" part a defining idea of agnosticism? An atheist doesn't need a "cop out" because he/she doesn't believe there is a god or afterlife, period. No nuances or cop outs needed. If you need a "just in case", then you are not just a chicken sh!t atheist. You are agnostic. [/quote]

I am an agnostic.  I do not believe in an afterlife because it violates the laws of thermodynamics -- energy would be increasing.   I have no data that either supports or refutes god, so I can not say with any confidence that god does or does not exist.  I trust my (and others repeatable) observations.  Science is my religion.[/quote]
