hard to bash people for choosing intelligence, reason, and logic over superstitious, mythological nonsense.
but i guess if you really want to, you can call them "smarty pants"

We agnostics are hard targets to hit. We do not get dogmatic about religious matters, don't claim to have all the answers. So what can you say about a person that admits they don't know? You could say they are stupid, or dumb or ignorant, but that is just an opinion. The Delphic Oracle declared that Socrates was the wisest of the Greeks, because he knew that he knew nothing! Agnostics do not, as a rule, invite controversy the way an ardent atheist would, some like the late Madeline Murray Ohare.

Dude, why does anyone have to bash anyone else? Why can't we converse as (hopefully) civilized adults and agree to disagree on some things? I'll admit I have a bigger problem with other Christians slamming people for the simple fact that Jesus said people would recognize His disciples by their love (John 13:35). If their love isn't apparent, that's a much bigger issue that needs to be addressed before we worry about anything else. As for anyone, agnostics, atheists, whoever bashing Christians, I pray for those people to find and know the love of Jesus, and I pray that the people they meet who claim to be Christians will be the ones to show it to them.

>>"Because they are horribly, painfully honest and usually very polite. Hard to bash someone who just looks at you and says "Hell if I know" and shrugs. Also, because they don't know, and they ADMIT they don't know for sure, they don't cause problems. What exactly would you bash them for? "<<
very very well said.
its easy to bash people who say your right out wrong, nuts, or who are otheriwse a threat to your beliefs, but I think Agnostics are really the ultimate non-threat religiously....

You could be the first. I haven't seen anyone bashing Sikhs on here either. We'd better make sure everyone gets bashed. And those Taoists, too. Everyone gets bashed.

Go ahead, bash me. I love it. It's better to be hated than ignored.
