It's okay if you don't believe in God. He probably doesn't believe in you either.

My take on what it means to be Agnostic is you wish to remain neutral and do not affiliate with a designated religious choice. It doesn't always mean that you don't believe in something greater than yourself...and this is where the perceptions get a little muddied....because it often gets boiled down to what you call it instead of a broader view that encompasses additional definitions, with many interpretations. I am concerned about all labels and iconoclastic views that rule out all possibility. I see it as open and receptive to all possibility and therefore it is positive in nature. God, or whatever term you prefer to use; can be defined in many different terms because it represents all thought, all ideas, and includes all perceptions of it. When you look at it in this manner...we are speaking of the same things but are divided by a label. I use the word God because it is most understood.

all people is an Agnostic via fact no one relatively knows for a certainty what happens as quickly as they die, or how the regulations artwork exterior of our very own universe yet. Atheists strongly have not got self assurance in a writer which could think of logically, or the fellow made religions. faith is rather distinctive while it includes how that's being prepare. you ought to declare as an occasion which you're analyzing religiously and not be a spiritual guy or woman that worships or is going to church. human beings like Christians have self assurance that we've got not have been given any concept to our dying, or we are "satanist" via fact "we are guided in the incorrect direction". we are able to ask our 'what ifs' and individuals like Christians have a ludicrous considering of delight and deny different theories like fools. Being an Agnostic continues to be greater effective than being a deluded self righteous loon. maximum scientist are Atheists.

No, it's human nature. If any religious person tells you differently, just say that if there is a God, then the reason why he gave me free will is to allow me to question and doubt him.
Our ability to think is the greatest thing we as humans have and you, my friend, are using it in the best possible way. Whichever path you take in the future, this will make you a better and stronger person. Believe me.

No. It means you have a very open mind, which is good.
Don't listen to people that tell you it's bad not to believe in a higher power. You have to find these things out for yourself instead of taking someone else's word for it. That's what is wrong with the world today.
Kudos to you.

That's not bad, that means that you have a brain that likes to function and work through these issues for yourself. It means that you rely on your own logic and reasoning to determine which explanations for the way the world works are valid and which are not. It means that you're not relying on being told what's going on around you, you're investigating it for yourself. I wish more people thought like you.

Believing what's in your heart can't be a bad thing... If you're unsure what you believe in, that's ok! There's plenty of facts supporting the scientific theory, but there's plenty of true believers in the bible. Hopefully, people just share their beliefs with you and not try to push them on you. Take your time...follow your heart...that's what I'm doing!

If you do not believe there is a Supreme Being, you are an atheist.
"Agnostic" is a meaningless term an atheist invented to avoid being vilified by the public.

IMHO, it's the only HONEST position.
Any other position on god is based on assumption and tradition, nothing more... yet they'll never admit it.
Congratulations to you for being an independent thinker.
