Agnostic Atheist

Description

A friend asked me to create a simple stamp that says “Agnostic Theist” … this is what he considers himself because he does not claim to have absolute evidence to prove the existence of the deity but he does have faith that the deity exists.

Anyone who knows me knows that I consider myself an “Agnostic Atheist” because, as Wikipedia states
“Agnostic atheists are atheistic because they do not hold a belief in the existence of any deity and agnostic because they claim that the existence of a deity is either unknowable in principle or currently unknown in fact.


I am an atheist because I do not believe that god exists yet I do not claim to be an “Gnostic Atheist” because I have no evidence to completely disprove the existence of god. I do believe that almost everything that has been attributed to god.. science is showing us there is no divine hand in it but I have seen no evidence that would completely disprove the existence of the deity… I simply do not believe a deity exists.

For some they believe incorrectly that agnosticism is a “middle ground” between atheist and theist, it is not, agnosticism simply states that given the current information had there is no conclusive proof either way [with respect to the deity] that a god exists or does not exists.. Some take a side of “atheist” as in Agnostic atheist who.. do not claim to have empirical evidence that a deity does not exist yet simply do not believe in a deity given the evidence, others take the side of agnostic theist because they say they do not have empiric evidence that a deity exists but have faith that it does…

Then you have some people who consider themselves “gnostic” which means “learned knowledge” which claim they either do not believe or believe in the deity and some [not all] claim evidence of such.. While I do not believe a deity exists, and while I see most of the things attributed to the deity to have been dis-proven by science, I have seen no evidence that would empirically disprove 100% the existence of the deity…

Though.. since the concept of God is devolving … from hundreds of gods… to dozens of gods.. to a handful of gods… to [in general] one god… so … this can go two ways… we would gain such knowledge to disprove the existence of a deity… or prove the existence of a deity OR….. god will evolve and start going the way… 4

Though many do not actually say I am an GNOSTIC ATHEIST, GNOSTIC THEIST, AGNOSTIC ATHEIST, OR AGNOSTIC THEIST… they simply say atheist or theist to tell whether or not they have a belief in the deity or some higher power.

I also made a “Gnostic Theist” “Gnostic Atheist” “Agnostic Atheist” which will be uploaded right after this one

Let knowledge be that truth, which portrays humanity, condemns malevolence; that respects the differences in others while abandoning the hatred and misconceptions of the past.

I used to consider myself an agnostic atheist, but I dropped the agnostic part with the same motivation that I don’t consider myself an ”agnostic non-dragonbeliever” or an ”agnostic non-ghostbeliever”. Sure, I can’t debunk that dragons or ghosts exist, but until there is evidence of such things there is no reason to believe in them, and thus no reason for me to be agnostic about them either.
