What do Christians think of agnostics opposed to atheists or other non-Christian religions?

Question

Please don't repeat the sitting on the fence argument. I'm just saying I don't know everything.

I have made up my mind.

Answer 1

Who cares about the agnostics and atheists. Most don't know what they are even talking about. It is cool on here, to be atheist, but I bet the all say OMG or GD or I swear to God. So they are just silly.

Answer 2

the only ingredient you may certainly end from all the at a loss for words solutions you notice is that there is an poor lot of demented, poorly-study people replying to questions. as an occasion, how many Christians have you ever considered right here attacking evolution-type questions? 5? 10? 50? Out of billions of Christians in the international who're in basic terms high-quality with evolution theories. yet i'm surprised which you "do no longer look at somebody in yet differently simply by fact they're an atheist or a Muslim". I propose, for a Christian, this is relatively a wierd ingredient to assert. Do you certainly see them as corresponding to your self? Do you have any concept what those people have faith?

Answer 3

When you say "Christians", who do you mean? The MAJORITY of the world's Christians, who are in the mainstream bodies? Or the wacko fundie fringe of Kansas-style Protestantism who deny the church which Jesus set up and instead worship a book which purports to tell about him?

Do these dumb fundies believe in the existence of Zeus? Poseidon? Horus? Arjuna? Thor? The risen L. Ron Hubbard? Mohammed? Aphrodite? Brigham Young? Oh, you say the Christians don't believe in *them*? Then they too are atheists who choose not to believe in a God. The Hindus say there are ten thousand gods. The Christians and Jews are atheists about 9,999 of them. The serious hardcore atheists say - why stop at 9,999? Just ditch them all. If 9,999 gods are bogus, why not 10,000? Is that unreasonable? I don't think so, do you?

Answer 4

Agnosticism is much more acceptable to me personally than atheism (while perhaps not to God) I don’t think God's existence can be proven or disproven, and even strong Christians seem to go through periods of doubt.

No one can know if God exists. For some reason what we have revealed of God indicates that he wants us to have a heart for him and search for our creator and purpose, then develop faith within our soul. If we could know - we would not neet faith.

Since we can not know absolutely, a person must choose to have faith at some point. As freewill, a favorite old song from rush says "if you choose not to decide you still have made a choice"

When you are in a fog of doubt and faced with the fact that you can't know, do you simply accept that or do you continue you to seek and long for God and faith?

Answer 5

well, agnostics arent sure if theres a God or not, but there opened minded....i guess its better -to me- to have an openmind to God, so people will know the true path. i once read, from a very smart article......Its better to pretend theres a God, and find out theres not , then to pretend there isnt and it being too late.
myself, im a christian

Answer 6

I am more interested in why someone holds a particular view rather than the view itself. I have more respect for people who have thoughtful reasons for their beliefs. I respect some people's atheism more than others. Likewise, the same with agnosticism.

Answer 7

Christians aren't sure that agnostics exist.

Answer 8

Agnosticism (from the Greek a, meaning "without" and gnosis, "knowledge", translating to unknowable)


to accept the Envelope of Mystery...

*beep beep vrooom!*

Answer 9

I think they are people just like the rest of us trying to find their way in the world.

Answer 10

You are me, and I am you.
You are my brother, we share the same journey.
Why would I not love you?
I would have to hate that in myself, and never acknowledge my faults, my doubts, my inner workings, which are many times, so far from God, that my leash just thins out and disappears....
