Religion is a hypothesis.

Quote from Index piker:

Both you and stu appear ignorant of how the word "agnostic" was coined.


Agnostic (Greek: α- a-, without + γνώσις gnōsis, knowledge) was used by Thomas Henry Huxley in 1860 to describe his philosophy which rejects all claims of spiritual or mystical knowledge.

note: belief & knowledge are not the same

So it's perfectly rational to be agnostic independent of your beliefs.

... you seem completely ignorant of what it is you are actually saying..

Is god no longer supposed to be spiritual or mystical?
Reject all claims of spiritual or mystical knowledge as Huxley suggests and you reject god.

You should notice that's what theists will say an atheist does.

Your use of agnostic is clearly just another bewilderment brought about by religion ..
Obviously another confused theist who is (Greek: α- a-, without + γνώσις gnōsis, knowledge) of what thinking for yourself is .

But if you lived in a world full of mass psychosis where the pro-unicornists tried endlessly to shove their unproven belief in unicorns down your throat, you might get pissed off at unicornism rearing its illogical head virtually everywhere you turned.

bingo

Both you and bugscoe have already established you both don't have a point. There's little need to keep on proving it.

I don't see where it takes a whole lot of brainpower to admit that "the belief that there is no deity" or those who say "there is no God" is a belief also.

Evidently it rises above the intellectual capacity or forthrightness of stu & kill, so be it.

Once upon a time there was nothing. For no particular reason God decided to create the heaven and earth and now we are here. Cool!

Once upon a time there was nothing. For no particular reason nothing exploded in to something and now we are here. Cool!

To say that one theory is more absurd than the other is...well, pot, meet kettle. Both require more than a little faith.

have you even read the bible creation myth? without your inherited stories of long ago would educated men of today even concieve of a being that picked up a handful of dirt and made man and then took a rib out of a man and made a woman?

one can understand how primitive stone age men could come up with such nonsense because they had no concept of science. what is your excuse for still believing it?

a unicorn for no particular reason decided to create the heaven and earth and now we are here. Cool!

Anything you wish is totally cool man!
