No agnosticism is logical.

Can you, using logic, debunk the existence of God? Remember, you must start your proof with truth's which can be derived from axioms or axioms themselves.
Can you, using logic, prove or disprove an axiom?
You're right ... this is fun!

Of course not. The only way to do that would be to prove that God either does or doesn't exist. The former is impossible because he doesn't, and the latter is impossible because the concept of an omnipotent being defies disproving.

You are asking, can rational arguments be used to debunk the most rational religious position? Saint Thomas Aquinas could do it, but no one else is quite as irrationally rational. ;-)

Yes. Formal agnosticism states that god is unknowable. But for this assertion to be true, one of the following is necessary;
1. God does not exist and thus can't be known
2. God exists but is unknowable nonetheless
Both of these possibilities imply knowledge of god, which contradicts the agnostic premise that god is unknowable.

Not really. It makes the most sense, considering the lack of a definitive answer to all of life's questions. I chose atheism for myself.

The question is:
"Do you believe a Supreme Being exists?"
If you answer:
Yes = theist
No = atheist
"Maybe" is not a belief, it is an excuse. Agnostic is a meaningless word that should have never been invented. Those who use it are intellectual cowards.

I'm alive. Considering how complex everything is (universe, Love, our eyes, lungs, the fact we have a concious, etc...)It takes way more faith to believe in something came from nothing.
If I have a bolt, and want a car, do I just wait a couple million years, and Bang it's a car.

Probably not, but logic does not rule my world! What really is logic anyway as it is defined by man?

How could you possibly be sure? Jeez, I just realized I have no way to know who is actually reading this, or whether I even wrote it, or .....
