Agnostic:
1. One who believes that it is impossible to know whether there is a God.
2. One who is skeptical about the existence of God but does not profess true atheism.
3. One who is doubtful or noncommittal about something.After all the insults about religion, and all the hateful comments saying religious people "force their beliefs down others throats," it's difficult to believe he is actually an agnostic based on the possible definitions.
He never once as far as I have read acknowledged the possibility that he's wrong about God's existence.
He's not skeptical -- he's adamant (no, not the 1980s singer!).
He's far from doubtful. His opinion is unwavering and does not leave room for any possibility that religion is right about anything.
To call himself an agnostic is just one more sign that he doesn't know what he's talking about when discussing religion.
If there was a god, we would all be judged on our actions. Cause as proven previously religions evolve too much over time and if a core need is to be worshipping the "right" god. Everyone is fucked. A god someone witnesses 1000's of years ago can't possible be the exact one people think about today.
This is why I am agnostic. I try do decent in this life and who knows what's next.
That comment doesn't fit the definition of agnostic. He doesn't believe there is a God, so he is by definition an Atheist.
He says he "try do decent" and "who knows what's next", but he constantly insults, denigrates and belittles AS A GROUP anyone who truly believes in religion. He uses the same "Flying Spaghetti Monster" and "Magic Man in the Sky" insults as all atheists.
Nobody who actually hold the humble opinion that he might be wrong mocks those who hold those same beliefs upon which he claims to be agnostic. One can't say, "I don't know if there's a God" while having nonstop arguments defending the atheist position that there is no God.
He's about as much an agnostic as he is a moderate.
