Quote by: loser  Dawkins is preaching to the choir. Christians DON'T worry because there IS a God. Atheists DO worry because there IS a God. I doubt that the bus campaign will help to allay their fears.
If the belief in God decreases, people will only have more reason to worry.
Know God, indeed. |
Does one truly KNOW that god(s) exist? People often mix up knowledge and faith, or make them one in the same thing. If one has FAITH in something, that person does not need irrefutable proof that it exists. If one has KNOWLEDGE of something, that person has irrefutable proof that it exists. ( Without getting into the philosophical aspect of it all ) In this way, technically, everyone is an Agnostic.
Ag(Without) Nostic(Knowledge). Because people of faith have no knowledge of a god(s), and Atheists have no knowledge of gods, everyone is an Agnostic. This isn't really a belief system though, in my opinion. Agnosticism is more of a "Journey" to come to a conclusion. Claiming to be Agnostic is, therefore, quite odd in my opinion. ( Not to dog on any people here who Claim to be Agnostic. I respect your belief fully)
Your post shows how FAITH and KNOWLEDGE are mixed up, and joined together.
Thank you
