That's not an accurate description of Agnosticism.

I don't feel like I'm in limbo. I don't feel like I'm searching for anything, because nothing is missing from my life. I don't feel any need at all to decide that gods exist or not. Perhaps Agnostics have a much greater tolerance for uncertainy and ambiguity than everyone else. It doesn't bother me in the least that I don't know if the supernatural exists or not.

Label me as a weak atheist (with a hunch that the strong atheists have it right).

Ringo writes: Kinda like having only two bullets in your gun and not knowing who to shoot first? Six of one and a half-dozen of the other. Perhaps Ringo is somewhat like Felix the governor in judgement of the apostle Paul who after hearing Paul indicated that he was almost persuaded to become a Christian. In fact Ringo may already be a secret believer or so near that agnostic sounds too dangerous a position for him to voice publicly before God and men.

Applicable to Agnosticism
Schraf, I didn't say it was a comprehensive definition of agnosticism. Specifically why is it not applicable to agnosticism?

Buzsaw writes: In fact Ringo may already be a secret believer or so near that agnostic sounds too dangerous a position for him to voice publicly before God and men. Ringo used to be a believer. But Ringo learned: what Buzsaw thinks he knows, he doesn't know. Buzsaw is an agnostic, even if he doesn't know it.

Re: More updates
You can count me as a theist. I don't propose to speak for Jar but he has made his position pretty obvious as a theist also. That's what I thought being that Jar told me that he was not only a Christian, but a Conservative Republican Christian. Rapture Ready: Message 52 jar said:
I'm coming from a Conservative Christian Republican perspective. to which nemesis_juggernaut quiped: quote:
In what regard are coming from the Conservative Christian Republican view, when all of your avowed views are in total contradiction?
Because I happen to be a Conservative Christain republican and so by definition that is my position. *shrugs* He flamed me for placing him on the list without his permission so I have removed from the list out of respects to his wishes. Edited by nemesis_juggernaut, : edit to add
