I usually don't care for Craig, but he kind of looks cool with a beard.

[JamesAuseten]

I am an agnostic, but raised atheist. I am an agnostic because of many of the arguments which William Lane Craig, and others, make with the teleological and cosmological arguments; which say to me that the wide possibility is there, but they haven't offered substantial enough proof.

I live a life opposed to greed and violence based on my own decisions; God is not necessary for this, for me. On the other hand, I love debates between atheists, agnostics, and liberal or conservative theists.

@Kellyo90 He's both.

[Kellyo90]

@trippygraffiti it would be more accurate to say he's apathetic

[trippygraffiti]

Craig is agnostic towards evolution.

I lose more respect for him every time he says without god, there is no meaning. That is such a stupid thing to say.

@JamesAuseten you see but the thing is,to be an atheist,one does not need to KNOW that there is no god.Rather, one simply doesn't believe in god.You can still withhold a space in your mind for belief in god until a compelling case or "substantial proof" is found, but it seems until you find these things you shouldn't believe in god,making you an atheist.So when you say your an agnostic,meaning you believe the existence of god can't be proven,you still haven't truly addressed your beliefs on god.

That's a terrible argument. If I believe 60% in god does that make me a theist? is 80 enough? 51 too little?

[MrAquinoflavio]

@JamesAuseten : Well, read the literature on the arguments. Being pedantically, I think that the existence of god is a too much serious issue to be unexplored and to be left aside.
