Christians what do you generally think about Agnostics on this forum and in general?

Question

the reason why i ask this is because of something that somebody said about agnostics in my last question/ so do you generally like us? do you dislike us? do you downright hate us? are you frustrated with us because we don't become christians? do you hate us because we don't become christians? do you dislike or hate us because some of us were christians and left the faith? so what's up i'm just curios that's all. as you all know by my screen name i am agnostic you can be truthful with me i would appreciate it. or if you don't dislike or hate all agnostics is it that you dislike or hate me?

Answer 1

I would have to say I don't hate any one. There are some people on here who I find offensive or frustrating, but I think they are trying to be. I think most people on here are atheist instead of agnostic. They don't want to even accept there is a possibility. To me agnostic is the most sensible thing to be if you are a non believer. You say there is no proof either way so I am not sure there isn't a God, but I cannot believe without proof. To me atheism has a type of faith to it.

So I respect your position. Whether or not I like you would depend on your behavior because I do not determine my opinion of someone based on their faith. I will admit it would be harder to enjoy the company of someone whose belief or lack of belief had them behaving rudely to people of my faith. For example, people who scream and yell at someone for giving them a piece of religious literature, or are abusive to someone who says God Bless you or I am praying for you, or someone who is so offended by the sight of a cross they freak out about it being displayed on a road or in someones yard. To me these people are a little too far out there to be friendly with.

But if you treat me with respect, I will do the same for you. If we were to talk and have similar interests I would have no problem being your friend.

Sorry I couldn't answer your question better. It is hard since I don't really know you. Have a good day.

Answer 2

It is sad that some Christians lost their faith in God for whaterver reason. Memorizing Christian apologetics and learning to refute other belief's apologetics would be a good strategy to not lose faith.True Christians are supposed to be loving because God is love. I would like for you agnostics to become Christians because I believe anyone who isn't a Christian is going to Hell. There is some evidence for Christianity. Read The Evidence That Demands a Verdict by Josh Mcdowell and Case for a Creator by Lee Strobel. These two authors didn't believe in God but they came to belief in Him by trying to disprove His existence! Listen to people's testimonies. I have one. When I was a young child, I had a hard time growing up because my parents couldn't take care of me because they have mental health problems. I was abused, so behaved poorly. My mom said that she went to a conference one time and a lady said that she had a girl between the ages of 41/2 and 5 who was playing about death as an obsession with it, which I was. I became a Christian and am not like I used to be. Also, look up Biblical prophecies. Here are some websites to start out with.http://www.reasons.org/resources/apologetics/prophecy.shtml

There are scientific facts in the Bible that weren't known for a while:http://www.inplainsite.org/html/scientific_facts_in_the_bible.html
Lastly, there is archeological evidence

Answer 3

I'm a sorta agnostic but an atheist by default. It is where I am, and agnosticism is because I know I cannot know, though as far as religion goes, I am only considering certain religions (unless other proof turned up for the ones I'm not.) And I'm not impartial or dithery in any way, I just haven't made up my mind yet... I have lots to learn and that's fine by me.

Answer 4

I think Agnostics are about 10000 times better to deal with and have a conversation with. Maybe the only thing more annoying than an Evangelical Christian is an Evangelical Atheist, and there are more of them they they will admit.

Answer 5

I really don't understand agnosticism. Do you really care whether or not there is a god or are you just atheists who leave the possibility open?

I think you guys are just atheists with open minds and are willing to accept the existence of gods if such a god was proven to exist. If you were actually agnostic it would be in your best interest to find out if there were a god.

In other words you're an atheist who would be willing to accept a god with proof, just like the majority of us.

Answer 6

I think that agnostics dont really know any religion, not even atheism, so they wouldnt really have much to say on this forum unless they are theologians etc. I only dislike you because you have no opinion, and that annoys me because i like to have politcal conversations. I hate it when i ask somebody what they think of something and they say "i dont care" my sister does taht alot.

Answer 7

I can only speak for myself, but I generally like people of other faiths or non-faiths, including agnostics. I love to have discussions with people who don't think like me, and agnostics are usually great at it because they're not distracted by what they believe.

Answer 8

Agnostics are wusses, fence straddlers afraid to make a stand or believe anything. There is a Pit Bull on each side of that fence boy. Unless you are ready to make a stand we've got you treed.

Answer 9

Dude. You're insecure. Secondly. Don't be misled. The likelihood at this hour is you stand a strong chance of never meeting a believer. Specially in America.

Answer 10

that's relative. it is like asking the followers of Metallica in the event that they think approximately themselves happier than the followers of Korn. There are 2 billion Christians, and a million billion Atheists interior the international, so its perplexing to take a position.
