Is an Agnostic something that you put in your pocket and save it for later?

That's one o' them thar nasty holiday
drinks people pretend to like?

Maybe it's a sweater.

I pondered on becoming an agnostic for quite a while. But finally, I couldn't decide.

It is the one who is not sure if God exists or not

who is not sure if God exists or not

So who are u now

in the middle loop of agnostic philosophy

I am.After reading Lawrenve Krauss' "A Universe from Nothing".

I'm an agnostic atheist. I think there are no supernatural beings or after dwellings but, I don't KNOW for sure that their aren't any.

It goes a little deeper than that Rahul.
For me it comes down to the existence of whatever it is that religions are based on & they generally cede that there is a power unknowable and all-powerful that demands worship.
Yet not 1 single person, philosopher, or scientist can either prove the existence or non-existence of said powerful being or force.

Since the issue appears to defy analysis, by people far more skilled than myself, what is the point of even thinking about it or searching for a "truth" in such a belief system?
My time is better spent thinking about what I'm going to do to interest myself next, than wasting it debating the existence of a god, supreme being, or all-powerful deity.

I figure if such a thing exists, and they/it/he/she needs me, they'll be sure to contact me and let me know what they expect from me...and since the phone hasn't rung, no visions have entered my dreams, and no miracles (other than the miracle of the everyday world around me) have suddenly garnered my attention.... it's a pretty good bet I'm on the right track being agnostic about it all.

PS: I died for 4 minutes and 20 seconds.
If there is an afterlife, I can personally vouch for the fact that it completely black, silent, & devoid of anything - there is nobody else there waiting for us.
(Or I arrived after closing time and should have hung around until they opened shop the next day/year/century/millennium.)

OLDCOOT; You certainly would know what your talking about. Others that have died have said they found themsellves in a fabulous place and didn`t want to return to life. Just adds to the confusion. P.S. your profile was great and you sound like a great guy!

Aren't you just the wee package of dynamite starraven.
Thanks for the compliment, I've heard worse about my attempt to explain myself to women here.

I completely empathize, about running your own business - I only took a vacation twice in the first 17 years of my general contracting business and worked better than 12-14 hours a day/7 days a week at it.
BUT..I always made time for teacher/parent meetings, kids' sports games, doctor visits - things that truly mattered to my 2 boys' upbringing & didn't just dump the load on my spouse like some typical "trad-wife" husband might.
In fact, that's probably what killed me because otherwise I was in prime physical condition, exercised through physical labor at work, ate properly, and didn't over-abuse drugs or alcohol.
(Tetch of the herb now & again.)

Smoking & too much snausage & cheese are probably the most likely culprits behind my heart attack, but this is Wisconsin so what's a fella to do?

Been all the way across B.C. on a trip through Banff and wow, are you ever lucky to live in nature's paradise.
I have a funny joke involving the acronym B.C. - probably one of the funniest I've ever read, but it would be off-topic here.
