God will reach out to you if you honestly seek the truth about Him. But don't sit on the fence too long, because when the reaper comes, the indecisive will be scooped up right along with the wicked!
"Unbelief, in distinction from disbelief, is a confession of ignorance where honest inquiry might easily find the truth. 'Agnostic' is but the Greek for 'ignoramus.'" - Tryon Edwards
Are you ready?

I'm a Christian.
I'm decisive.

Viewing your previous Q & Answer's you are a "fanatic" who is being very "entertained" by "cramming the gospel" down people's throats. YOU are 1 of the reason's "christian" is a "sore subject" to many in YAnswer's. It's a shame! (You should rent the movie, "The Apostle" & chill out.)
When did you get finished with your elective course from JR college in "Humanities: Religion 101"? Last week?
Do you have "Snake Hand'ling" in your church? Do people swoon & speak in tongues at your church? ( I'm just trying to get a grasp of what TYPE of "christian" you are?)
Or is this total entertainment for you? Obviously, you REALLY DON'T want to bring people closer to the lord with your hardcore tactics? Do you just like a good "religion" argument?
Because your viewpoints are so "right-wing" you eliminate yourself from any realistic forum.
How fun & entertaining is that?

I used to believe unquestioningly in God. However, I came across many a Christian who felt it necessary to use the condescension/fear tactics you're employing here to give me extra "convincing" of God's existence and role. This caused me to analyze God's role in my life and in the universe without the influence of the overbearing people around me, and I am now an agnostic. In response to your quotation, I have made many an honest inquiry and still haven't found the truth, hence my willing confession of "ignorance".

To me, the difference between Indecisive and Agnostic is quite clear.
Indecisive -- ya just can't make up your mind - sometimes you believe that God exists and other times you talk yourself out of it.
Agnostic - You firmly know that you can never KNOW whether or not there is a God. There is no way of knowing.

"Agnostic" simply means that the person is not absolutist in their beliefs. It does not mean that they are ignorant.
It takes a lot of courage to kick organized religion to the curb and acknowledge a Creator without the interference of middlemen. Agnsoticism leaves the door open for the Creator to manifest outside the bounds of religion.

I'm apathetic on the subject of religion. The only thing I'm ready for is to watch you waste the precious moments of your life worrying about something that most likely doesn't exist.

I believe in Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, but I believe they are separate beings.
