I offend myself all the time. Then I forgive myself. Interesting icon you've got there. Is that a ghost? Some bizarre "thumb's up?"
Agnostics believe there is a god, but think we will never have evidence of this. Miracles are not from God. They're just happy coincidences.

agnosticism means "in the know" basically in Greek. So if you were in society back in the day, you esteemed yourself higher than others. More of a philisopher type I guess. I dont think the society of agnosticism has changed much since...

lmao. im agnostic and that was kinda amusing. but instead of bashing agnostics you should find out what it really means. cause in reality agnostics are the ones that know the actual truth ;)
