Have I as an Agnostic ever tried to persuade you to become an Agnostic? Have I ever suggested that you should leave your religion to become an Agnostic? Have I ever promoted Agnosticism to any of you at all? Have I ever when a person has asked about what religion that they should be told them that they should be Agnostic and have no religion at all? I'm just curious that's all. I don't think that I have but some people seem to want to insist that I do. So what says you the jury?

The jury has decided...
non-guilty
The case is now dismissed.

It's not an actual, you have to become Agnostic...it's more the constant hypothetical questions and the arrogance. That you think you are so much smarter or that Christians are stupid because they believe in a God or believe in the bible. So basically you are trying to persuade us to change our beliefs, by cutting us down.
I don't know if you have personally done this, but many Agnostics and Atheists have.

You are getting insults about being agnostic. I would just like to say that atheism is the exact counterpart of theism. And since atheists are always mocking theists absolute certainty in their beliefs, ha, you are committing the same wrong. You are absolutely sure, whereas agnostics are willing to accept that they don't know and there is no way to know. There is nothing cowardly about that. Even Richard Dawkins thinks that it's basically impossible to be a true atheist, and that most people are agnostic-atheists.

An agnostic is simply one who does not have proof either way.
Atheists say that Christians jump to conclusions without evidence and yet they do the same thing. As far as I know there is no iron-clad proof of Gods nonexistence. Atheists will even commonly say that it is impossible to prove something doesn't exist. Isn't that hypocritical?

Really...anytime you disagree with someone, or point out a fact, the first reaction on this thread is to pour some sort of righteous gobbledy-goop down your throat. Really the best thing to do..which we were all taught in elemenatary school, is to turn the other cheek, give a negative rating, and go on with your business.
You have to realise that most of the people on this thread are mostly trolls, or extreme bible thumpers. And really, you can't take this thread seriously...Best of luck to you not getting annoyed anymore!

Not that I know of but trying to debunk religion is about the same thing, isn't it? If you insist that religion is wrong then aren't you insisting that you are right? Surely if I changed from being a Christian to being a Muslim you would still say I'm wrong.

No an agnostic has never tried to pursuade me to become an agnostic.

Jury says: Whatever path helps you to live life to the fullest and your happiest, really. Just make sure not to let it strangle you. You have to be firm in the feeling of the religion being what's right for YOU, not anyone else.

Agnostics are undecided. IMO they are a pointless beleif. You believe something but you don't know what it is, and you don't care to know what it is. I'm not trying to offend you, I'm just simply stating. I'd rather you be an atheist than an agnostic. It just makes no sense.

No, You haven't in any way try to promote your faith. Other Christians here try to convince you of joining their religion because they think is good for you. Religious people don't respect other people's religion and you've never done that. Good for you it goes to show who really respects religious liberty.
