an agnostic both belive and not belives, it dosent make them ignorants?

Question

im an agnostic, for me beliving in god and not beliving in one would not make a big diffrence cause i know in the end god will understand why.
i understand those who belive i give them respect for them and i will not criticize them.
so how can a non-beliver and a beliver can become as a whole

an agnostic is not ignorant because he choose how to live his life with out any supernatural being in its present of everyday life.
either both are ignorants cause one change their mind and decided to stick with one,

Answer 1

i like agnostics they are not as closed minded as an atheist or christian!

Answer 2

I like this question.
Let's face it, religion as a whole was created in order to satisfy man's reluctance to abide by what he doesn't (yet) understand.
Religion? One word... Dinosaur? (and countless others)
If a person is too weak-minded to accept that we're all just (relatively advanced) animals, only we don't have the higher perspective to look down on ourselves, then Religion is probably the right thing for them.
(Alo nature a whole could be thought of as a finite chemical reaction running from the creation (not divine) of the earth to the present)
Conversely, if a person is the sort to run around telling everyone how they can't believe in a deity because that's (quite rightly) absolute nonsense, even though some people are just that way inclined, then they're just an ars*hole.
So, the best thing is to just not get wrapped up in the whole sordid affair.

Don't listen to any religous ideas, or anyone else's ideas for that matter, about that sorta thing. Forget the word GOD even exists and make up your own mind as to what this ride is all about.

Answer 3

I'm not sure quite what you're asking. An agnostic is not someone who both believes and doesn't believe in a god. An agnostic doesn't know whether or not there's a god. Personally, as an agnostic, I don't believe it's possible for me to know whether or not a deity exists. And for me, it doesn't matter. I try to be a good person, because I value goodness. If there is a deity, I think s/he would be pleased with the way I live my life. If there isn't - it doesn't matter, because I'm pleased.

Answer 4

The fact is that there is a wide ocean between a believer and a nonbeliever.

But anyway, if you "know in the end [G]od will understand why," aren't you saying that you believe in God, then? And don't you have a concept of God, if you believe that he is understanding? I mean, you could as easily have a concept that he is not understanding ... so obviously, if you know some of his attributes, you believe he exists.

Yet, here's the kicker: God actually may understand why, but he may not care. It just might be possible that he will find you to be weak and unworthy since you did not have the strength to make a commitment to him and to give your life back to the one who created it. We don't know the mind of God, nor do we know how he will judge us. If you are willing to put your eternal soul in danger, that's your choice ... but it seems like a disastrously wrong-headed choice, and a major gamble.

But anyway, a believer and nonbeliever cannot "become as a whole," as you say, because in order for something to be whole, it must not have any cracks, tears, breaks, or fissures. A nonbeliever does not fit into God's world, does not fit into God's plan ... and certainly he or she doesn't seek to do the will of God. If we are to be a whole, we must all be seeking to do the will of God. Otherwise, there is opposition. And if you are opposed to the will of God (which you are, if you do not know God), then the fact is that you are opposed. Period. "He who is not for us is against us."

That said, believers can certainly be patient with nonbelievers, can pray for them, can hope to bring them to God. There need not be hatred. But as for perfect harmony, it's just not possible.

Answer 5

The question you seem to be asking is not whether to believe, but whom to believe in. Your self-education about God has led you down a very dangerous and slippery slope. I admire your persistence in questioning organized religion's importance and relevance in today's world.

For me, believing in Jesus Christ and the Holy Father gives comfort and peace that cannot be found elsewhere in this uncertain world. To that faith, I ask that you read the Holy Bible, preferably the King James Edition, because it will tell you God's real opinion about agnosticism and its practitioners, of which you claim to be one.

You are seeking answers, which is a good thing. You will only become a whole with the community of believers when you also believe as they do; this holds true regardless of the faith path you choose. I pray that your research and studies lead you to the Lord Jesus for salvation; but I will understand if it does not, for not everyone is destined for heaven.

Answer 6

I am Christian.
I married an agnostic.(although no longer married we are still friends).
I do not think it makes them ignorant. It is important to have "reason" behind your belief. In my understanding Agnostics just see no "proof" one way or another. The see the arguments on both side and are looking for their own "reason" to believe or not to believe.
Although (sadly) based on my belief, an agnostic will not go to heaven. I have my reasons and "logics" to my belief, and although I may not agree with everything that the christian community believes, I do believe in the same God that they do.
I hope that you find some reason or proof to either believe or not believe.
But no it is not ignorant to be an agnostic.

Answer 7

No, it makes them realistic. There is no way of really knowing until we die. Religion is pure faith, and either you have it or you dont. Agnostics want to believe, but are honest enough to admit there's really know way of being sure in this life. We'll just have to wait and see what happens.

Atheists on the other hand, like true believers, think they know. Only time will tell.

Answer 8

if an agnostic believes theres a God but doesnt acknowledge him and worship him thats like what Jesus said about being hot or cold as folks were luke warm he spit them out,, God wants to have a relationship with us and we should ask for his spirit to teach us then read the bible it will give you the Knoowledge to make a good decision about your beliefs

Answer 9

The literal translation of agnostic is ignorant.

When you claim to be agnostic, you are not claiming to believe in anything, you are claiming to be ignorant.

Claiming to believe & not believe at the same time is not an agnostic, that is insanity.

Answer 10

People will disagree about this until the end of time. If there were only two people left on the planet they wouldn't agree on the existence and nature of God.
