That makes no sense.

All you're saying is that you don't claim to have absolute knowledge of god.

Gnostic - Agnostic

Theist - Atheist

Gnosticism is about Knowledge.

Theism is about Belief.

So, are you an agnostic theist? Or an agnostic atheist? You can't be just agnostic.

[nirvana2295]

@DaToNyOyO no im just agnostic



[DaToNyOyO]

@nirvana2295 So you're an agnostic atheist.

[nirvana2295]

@damaxman I'm agnostic i believe that no one has proof on either side....

@nirvana2295

If I say "I believe in god" or whether I say "I don't believe in god" does not matter when it comes to gods existence. Either God (as defined) exists or not. If you or ANYONE is to claim that god does exist, they must provide evidence. Do you have any? If you do I'd be more than happy to see it.

As of yet, I've seen no evidence to suggest the existence of a god, thus, I'm an atheist. Additionally, since I accept there 'might' be one, I'm agnostic. Simple enough?

@damaxman to comprehend...what you [think] is true isn't all that hard know is it?.....so let me make this easy...do you believe in god? do you believe there is a god?...Do you believe there could be a god?...answer these question so that i can better understand what type of atheist you are because the ones i know exactly what atheism is...i may have it wrong... but from what ive herd atheist say they are idiots

@nirvana2295

There is no contradiction here, these are two separate aspects. To state "there is no god" would be a claim, to which I would need to support said claim with evidence. Whether I believe there actually is one is entirely irrelevant when applied to 'does god exist or not.' It's really quite simple. Kind of astounding that an idiot like myself can comprehend it, yet you cannot.

[nirvana2295]

@damaxman so your saying that you do not believe in god?...yet you say you never claim that "there is no god"....how does that work?....thats a contradiction all in itself...to not believe is the same thing....too keep it in your head and not express it still makes you an idiot....so idk try to explain it to me..

@nirvana2295

1. Simply claiming "there is proof" does not account for proof, despite how eagerly you may wish it does.

2. A proclaimed atheist does not believe in a god. Other attributes are unique to the individual, such as if they claim "there is no god." One is a label or description of sorts, whereas the second is a claim. Claims require evidence, and IMO you're right to call anyone who claims "there is no god" as fact, an idiot. Likewise with claims of Jesus.

3. Fair enough.

[nirvana2295]

@damaxman 1. There is proof that jesus was real apparently you need to so more research

2. The term atheism originated from the Greek ἄθεος (atheos), meaning "without god"...many atheists say there is no god many times before....so what happened? your a different kind of atheist or what...

3. And i didnt refer this comment towards you rather to the idiots bellow...and i regret not directing it who it was ment for...i understand your video clearly but as i said before not intended for you...
