[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is accepting other possibilities "chicken shit"? I don't get the argument. As it's oh so brave not to believe. Are you in kindergarten? LOL[/quote]
I think most people aren't accepting other possibilities, I think they want to have a back up plan. I also think they think saying "I'm agnostic" isn't as grating or shocking as saying "I'm an atheist". Like it's so much easier to face a catholic and tell them, "I suppose you could be right", even when you know they aren't.[/quote]

Sorry, second pp, you're reading too much into this. Agnosticism is not "atheism lite," it's a different concept. There is nothing wrong with being atheist, but I'm not one. For me "No one can know about God" is a more exact and correct statement than "I KNOW there is no God." I think there's no God, but can't ever know this. Since I don't believe in intervention or hell, I'm fine where I am. FWIW I find it easier to say, "I'm not a believer" or "I don't believe" because hauling out the A-words usually ends with having to discuss all the semantics.[/quote]
