Why are Agnostics better people than Atheists and Christians?

Question

Agnostics generally don't give a definite answer if there is a god or what he is like.

That's why (most) Christians and Atheists suck donkey balls... They claim to know an "absolute truth" and think everyone else is moronic... I know I'm not helping my case by using such colorful desprictions... but people who think they know for a fact there is no god or that there is a god are some of the most awful people on the planet... I've never been sure about anything, I just know there is a good possibility of an answer....

So the question still stands, what are your reasons for believing that Agnostics are better people than Christians or Atheists?

Answer 1

*ALL* reasonable people have a degree of agnosticism and *NO* "absolute truths" in their beliefs... An “Agnostic” just takes it to an overriding, cop-out level and applies it with *no* logical consistency. ... Most agnostics will say:
- there's no Santa; but balk with 'God'
- there's no Ra; but balk with 'God'
- there's no FSM; but balk with 'God'
- there's no gnomes; but balk with 'God'
- there's no bent spoons; but balk with 'God' … etc., etc., etc.

There is equal evidence (none whatsoever) for any of these. WHERE DID THEIR REASONING GO? ... They need to get off the pot and think and reason like they do in all ‘non-God’ circumstances! … ( Not 'Special' treatment for one 'God'. )

Answer 2

I think you are a bit confused. Most people, religious and atheist, are agnostic. Agnostic has to do with a lack of knowledge, not belief. A religious person can say, "I believe in god, but I don't know if god exists." Likewise, an atheist can say, "I don't believe god exists, but I don't know for certain." This is a common misconception about agnostics that I think needs to be cleared up. Let me reinterate, agnostics make no claim about belief, they merely think the question of god's existence/nonexistence is unanswerable.

Answer 3

Someone on here once said agnostics are the bisexuals of spirituality. That makes it sound way more interesting than it really is. I don't know. Sometimes I call myself Agnostic, sometimes a Secular Humanist, sometimes an Atheist, and I still don't feel like the labels fit me perfectly. I really don't think one group is any better than the other. There are great individuals from all religions and beliefs.

Answer 4

I am an agnostic Atheist.
Under certain definitions all that Atheism means is lack of a belief in god. Saying I don't know if there is a god (agnostic) is atheist.

Answer 5

You could say Atheists and Christians are a bit more arrogant then Agnostics, but as for them being worse people, you are just generalizing and stating opinion and not facts.

Answer 6

No one is any better than anyone else.

At least Christians and Atheists take a stand and know what they believe,while Agnostics in choosing not to decide still have made a choice and don't seem to know it.

Answer 7

I've never claimed to know the truth I just simply do not believe that god exists I would never tell anyone that they are wrong I would just simply say I don't agree. I don't believe anyone is better then anyone.

Answer 8

I don't BELIEVE there is a god but i i don't deny there could be. I a still an atheist but by your astute logic i dont suck donkey ball either.

Answer 9

The only definite thing you can say about Agnostics is that the MAY be better people than Atheists and Christians.

You NEVER KNOW!

haha

Answer 10

Um, because they don't get into High School level cheerathons about who is a "better" person?

Can't hear us now, we'll yell a little louder!
