Those who wear bright red socks or keep fried eggs down their pants certainly are. Not sure about the others.

"Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear". --Thomas Jefferson
"I don't know & you don't either." (god speaks directly to me today, revelation is continuous)
Sophia was a goddess of wisdom..
but since Paul was a murderer who created Christianity using his own reason and justifications and self credentials to have studied under Gamaliel and yet also was a hitman for Sadducees and High Priest, we see that anything is possible and what is more frightening is the fact people will create a god or religion based on fear, intollerance and hate but mask it it specialness, chosen ones and pre ordination and elitism
Christians are actually against gnosticism but the book of John is very Gnostic and the whole collection of quotes selections of the New Testament is crazy and out of whack but many cling to it thanks the the idea in a Utopia
hey whatever gives us hope, let it be..so long as it's not at the expense of our fellow man
Agnosticism is a concept, not a religion. It is a belief related to the existence or non-existence of God.
An agnostic is a person who feels that God's existence can neither be proved nor disproved, on the basis of current evidence. Agnostics note that some theologians and philosophers have tried to to prove, for millennia, that God exists. Others have attempted to prove that God does not exist. Agnostics feel that neither side has convincingly succeeded at their task.

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.
Christian- a monotheistic system of beliefs and practices based on the Old Testament and the teachings of Jesus as embodied in the New Testament and emphasizing the role of Jesus as savior
Agnostics say it's impossible to know whether there is a god or say there could be, but don't know who that god is. On the other hand, Christians say that Jesus Christ is God- we know who God is and worship only Him. They can not be the same by their very definitions.

Christian, notice how the first part of that word is "christ" these people know who they are worshipping. Agnostics believe in something, we just don't know exactly what that it. Now stop picking on the Christians... its not the Christian thing to do afterall.

No. Agnostics by definition don't know if God exists. Christians are people who have said to God that they were sorry for their sins and have asked for forgiveness and accepted Jesus as savior.
The two are different groups.

No they are Christians. That's why they are called Christians. If they were Agnostics, they would be called Agnostics.

One person could be Christian or agnostic, depending on the day.

Could be. I have seen evidence of atheist labled othewise.
True Agnostics are humble enough to admit that they do not know.

No, we are atheists. At least that's what the Roman pagans called us when they slaughtered us for not believing in their multiplicity of gods.
