Many pagans don't acknowledge the Christian God or Satan (even though they are often accused of worshipping him). There are many people of all religious walks that don't believe in the Loch Ness Monster, fairies, trolls, etc.
The point is, to believe in one being does not mean you must accept *ALL* beings. So why do many people feel that agnostics are ambivalent towards EVERYTHING?
Believing in a God doesn't automatically mean an acceptance of all things supernatural. So why would agnosticism suggest this?

This is a question about views on agnosticism, not an excuse for you to preach to me.

First of all, let me say that I believe in God. Next, I would like to say that the majority of "Christians" are very close-minded, and feel like everyone needs to be affiliated with their branch of Christianity, or they will go to Hell when they die. They are interested in saving your soul, and they think that will get them brownie points, or something. Just because you are agnostic doesn't mean you are ambivalent towards everything, it just means you believe in a higher power, but you just aren't sure what it is. I believe there is one God, he just goes by many different names. However, most "Christians" believe that God is only partial to their branch of Christianity, so everyone else is screwed, even other believers. My views are to each his own.

Yay, a brand new critical phrase utilized in a funny procedure :D I've constantly been partial to pronouncing 'fully' while it isn't one hundred% legitimate. Anyway...... I believe it is quite obtrusive Christians are simply undeniable and without problems biased. What I do not get is why such a lot of humans from different religions, even ones which technically suppose within the equal God, are so tolerant and effortless-going.. but such a lot of Christians are consistently uptight and refuse to are living and allow are living.

in answer to the question you asked here--agnosticism doesnt suggest this-but i have seen some agnotics and atheist suggest that same thing-also dont believe that most were serious but were using it to point out their view of the foolishness of believing in something that cant be proven---smile and enjoy the day--hope this is what you are looking for

you don't sound rude primoa......just ignorant, but it's ok.
I wouldn't say pagans don't "acknowledge" the desert god, they may acknowledge he exists, he just isn't the one for them. That's the difference between us and them, we can at least admit that he in fact may exist.
EDIT: sin being a kristjan concept, color within your own lines there slappy. I don't need your religion fukking with mine anymore than it already has tried to.

There is only one God, the God of heaven and earth. You may worship rocks or trees if you wish, I will worship the Creator not the creation.

Actually, the first commandment says "Thou shalt have no other gods before me" - It doesn't say there AREN'T any - just that God doesn't want you to worship any other than him.

Umm I didn't see a question, dear one. And there is only ONE God. He said it, I believe it and that settles it.
God bless!

I don't mean to sound rude but.......there is only ONE God......
And His name is Yahweh, Jehovah, Jesus, Yeshua, Messiah, I Am........
And yes.....I deny all other false gods (small g) because they cannot save people from sin like Christ did.
