For the last several years (six or so?) I have identified myself as an Agnostic Theist. Anyone who reads my posts can probably figure out my beliefs, but here is a blog I started (and stopped) a while back that sums it up:
quote:
"Agnostic Theism"from Secular Religion:
As an Agnostic Theist, I hold to the belief that knowing GOD is inherently impossible; we can only define, at most, what we believe about GOD.
Admittedly, this degree of faith is a little 'weak'; the GOD involved is not well defined and there are no statements of knowledge involved with the belief. I've noticed, lately, though a strong desire to strengthen my belief and faith as things go well in my life. A part of me wants to embrace this desire and make stronger proclamations about what I believe in and what I think can be known or said about the GOD I believe in and other religious notions. At the same time, a logical part of me realizes that doing this would be rather hypocritical: to have strong faith in good times and weaker faith in worse times. So, I have resisted this urge on the premise that it would be wrong to give into it.
Anyway, I don't think I've ever started a topic to discuss my own faith and belief, but I'm interested in talking about this with the folks here who are maybe more and maybe less faithful than I.
Maybe Faith/Belief Forum?
Love your enemies!
