Don't disagree with any of that, and it is sad.
Yep, if you are not religious attending religious ceremonies, especially funerals, are really awkward moments.

The fact that there are so many different versions of the same rehashed "truth" says quite a lot about the reliability of its message IMO.
That's a bit silly as you could say the same about people's views on atheism - all different varieties of the "truth".
Interesting read. However all that does is explain a process. Not how the process came to be and what started it off.
You've probably never seen this diagram then - and as well as that there are negative or positive atheists (degree of affirmation), or broad and narrow atheists (degree of scope) etc. Unfortunately nothing in life is incredibly simple.

Please would you explain what you understand by "Gnostic atheism"?

Gnostic atheism includes atheists who believe they know that God doesn't exist (like [MENTION=5707]Nibble[/MENTION]), as opposed to agnostic atheists who don't believe in God but accept that it might exist.
I cant be bothered to really get into this thread as its always the same old shit (not had one in a while to be fair). What i will say is that its good to have someone like Buzzer who is actually capable of an objectional non-blinkered adult debate...a rarity on this thread (i see that guy from prague is behaving like a child again)
A complete inability to partake in reasoned debate without resorting to statements such as "If not believing in a fantasy makes me a child again...great." is what makes you childish. Nothing to do with your beliefs but how you present them. Buzzer has already stated that he's agnostic so is of a different belief to me, but I welcome his opinion because he behaves like an adult.If not believing in a fantasy makes me a child again...great...for the record, I also appreciate buzzers input, but ill stand by my belief, of not believing in the 'bible' story, and continue to believe that it, along with other religions holy books are more trouble than they are worth.
They say that man was made in God's image, did he have a butt hole as well, and if he did, did he use it, or was it just cosmetic?
....of course he used it !!!! - have you never had an away day in Sarf Norwood then?

It is impossible to know whether God exists or not - those who claim to know otherwise, whether it's the gnostic atheists or the gnostic theists, are either deluded or lying.
Agnosticism on either side is purely open mindedness, accepting that we know nothing. Any rational minded person is agnostic in my opinion.
(I am an agnostic theist, I believe in a God of sorts, but I wouldn't rule out being wrong about God's existence)
