1. (agnostic) (4141↑, 545↓)
An agnostic is a person who believes that the existence of a greater power, such as a god, cannot be proven or disproved; therefore an agnostic wallows in the complexity of the existence of higher beings. Agnostics on religion (Christianity, Islam, Buddhists, etc): Religious zealots are often viewed as ignorant by agnostics’ because of their blind following of a supreme being which may or may not exist. Agnostics will often question the existence of a supreme power because a lot of modern religious beliefs have no basis in modern logic; therefore blind following of popular religions is viewed as an easy out for people who chose not to think for themselves. Agnostics on atheism: On the other end of the spectrum, unlike atheists, an agnostic uses a more scientific approach to their belief system. An agnostic knows that just because there is no physical proof of the existence of a higher being, it dose not automatically mean that one does not exist. An agnostic views an atheist on the same plane as a religious zealot; often because the belief that human beings are the pinnacle of intelligence and there are few things that we do not or have the potential to understand. The realization of knowing that “we cannot know everything” is the backbone of the agnostic belief.

Christian Zealot: God loves you and everyone. He will save you Agnostic: Prove it. Athiest: There is no way that a god can exist. Agnostic: Prove it.

2. (agnostic) (1888↑, 765↓)

3. (agnostic) (1348↑, 358↓)
Someone who doesn't feel that their is enough evidence to prove or disprove god.

Just because people have different religious beliefs than that of yourself (agnostic, atheist, muslim, christian) gives you no right to make them feel terrible.

4. (agnostic) (566↑, 198↓)
By strict definition, it means 'without knowledge', refering to deities. That is, an agnostic does not claim to have any definite knowledge of the existance of deities/a deity. It is often said that agnosticism is a stepping stone to atheism. There is truth to this, as often the transition from theism to atheism is travelled through agnosticism. However, this is not the only form of agnosticism. Agnosticism can also develop as a rejection of both atheism and theism, for a number of reasons. All three discuss divinity in different ways, so it is foolish to say that agnosticism is simply a stepping stone to atheism, or undecided secularism.

7. (agnostic) (305↑, 57↓)
1. Strictly, someone who believes that it is impossible to know whether or not God exists. Note that they may still be either an [atheist] or a [theist], they simply do not believe it is possible to prove beyond all doubt that God does or does not exist. 2. Someone who neither believes fully that God exists nor that s/he does not exist. This is the more common usage. Note that such a person can be neither an [atheist] or a [theist].

Most agnostics are open-minded people, but there are always exceptions to the rule.

8. (agnostic) (205↑, 78↓)
A person that doesn't believe in anything. They don't know if God does or doesn't exist, and they don't let it bother them. Contrary to some of the other bullshit definations on here, they aren't indicisive cowards or pussies. Don't let some fuckhead convince you otherwise.

Since there's not enough proof either way, I'm happy being agnostic

15. (Agnostic) (92↑, 24↓)
Refering to a person who believes you cannot prove nor disprove an ultimate reality, specificaly in deity's Also sometimes refered to as "weak atheists" although that is incorrect.

The term 'agnosticism' was coined by Professor T.H. Huxley at a meeting of the Metaphysical Society in 1876. He defined an agnostic as someone who disclaimed both ("strong") atheism and theism, and who believed that the question of whether a higher power existed was unsolved and insoluble. Another way of putting it is that an agnostic is someone who believes that we do not know for sure whether God exists. Some agnostics believe that we can never know. "Weak atheism" is simple scepticism; disbelief in the existence of God.

16. (Agnostic) (74↑, 11↓)
1. A person who cannot prove, nor disprove, the esistance of a god. Often, an agnostic is more open-minded to the beliefs of others while not discrediting them for their beliefs.

20. (agnostic) (77↑, 49↓)
ok its not a pussy version of atheism so dont let people tell you that, its basically a person who is intelligent and openminded because christians are usually not intelligent and not open minded while atheist are usually intelligent but not open minded. it is the belief that even tho theres no proof that god exists, theres no proof that he does exist heres the stupidest thing i ever found about agnostics Strong atheists often question the special treatment weak atheists – and theists – give to religion. If they believe that the tooth fairy or Santa Claus do not exist, why are they willing to give God a benefit of the doubt? they are willing to give god the benefit of the doubt because there is no proof that he doesnt exist. there is proof that santa and the easter bunny dont exist your parents tell you they dont exist when your a kid

im agnostic not some brainwashed idiot(religious person) and not some close mided smart man(atheist)

22. (agnostic) (21↑, 1↓)
Someone who does not think there is enough evidence to prove or disprove God's existence. It's a valid viewpoint. Some people say agnostics can't make up their mind or do their research on what to believe. I did my research on different religions and philosphical beliefs, and I made up my mind. And now I'm an agnostic. Deal with it. Oh, and agnosticism isn't weak atheism. Atheism is believing that there is no God. You can be an agnostic athiest - one who doesn't believe in God. You can an agnostic deist - one who believes in a higher power. What you believe is different from what you know.

An agnostic is someone who does not think there is enough evidence to prove or disprove God's existence.

24. (Agnostic) (13↑, 3↓)
Someone who believes that knowledge is not possible for themselves, some to different extents. They may believe that knowledge is possible, but paradoxically, it's impossible for them to know. While one will confine this to the metaphysical, most famously, regarding the existence of God, others will believe that they can know nothing at all, as not even their senses can be trusted. Agnostics are often well-educated, and even more often do they see themselves as such. An agnostic, by virtue of their belief, typically sees themself as a very skeptical and critical person, and indeed, they usually are. They are often more intelligent on average than those who believe they know things, or at least, so the stereotype goes. Because of this, they often develop a sense of superiority, by which they can logically and rationally transcend the arguments of less-intelligent theists, who tend to be the most vocal ones. An agnostic esteems above all else the scientific method. It is the infallible absolute of the agnostic. Everything must be empirically demonstrable to an agnostic, or it cannot be known to exist. A typical argument an atheist would use against a theist would be: "Since you cannot prove the existence of your God, how do you know that he exists?" An agnostic attempts to apply [empiricism] to absolutely every aspect of reality. A thing does not exist unless it can be "scientifically proven". A modern understanding of science is the typical rhetoric of the agnostic.

Theist: "Do you believe in God?" Agnostic: "I do not, because it is impossible to prove the existence of God. In fact, I do not believe it is possible to prove the existence of anything, as everything we've known is a product or our subjective consciousness." Theist: "Are you sure?" Agnostic: "Yes, I am 100% sure." OR Agnostic: "If a thing cannot be proven scientifically, there is no way to know that it exists" Philosopher dude: "But you are assuming the existence of knowledge, which in itself is a totally abstract concept that is entirely unprovable by those means. If you are to apply the scientific method to every facet of knowledge, with our current understanding of perception and cognition, it would be impossible to trust your own senses, and everything would be unprovable, and hence, you could know nothing at all, including the validity of the scientific method." Agnostic: "Any ideas of yours cannot be empirically proven, so I need not listen to you." Philosopher dude: *facepalm.

Someone who's intelligent enough to admit perhaps they cannot hold a certain claim about anything that does not have physically sound evidence. They are not unsure of their beliefs, but rather are abstract thinkers. The existence of a higher being can neither be proven nor disproved. Perhaps life itself does not exist but is rather a figment of another being's imagination? Does anything even mean anything at all? If you can't figure it out, it's not important enough to care about. Now go do whatever the heck you want instead of being confined or conformed to beliefs that were made by whoever however long ago and then mass produced and tailored to the media. If religion never existed, would we even know the difference? Think for yourselves. That's what famous philosophers are, just people who thought for themselves.

Lady: And what religion are you dear? Me: I'm sixteen and a [agnostic] [atheist]. I believe in my own [philosophy] on life, created as i experience it. Lady: Oh... that's delightful...(confused look)

26. (agnostic) (24↑, 14↓)
An agnostic is somebody who believes in [agnocism]. Which is a belief that there might or might not be a God. They don't live by strict religious rules, but are not atheist assholes. unfortunately agnostics are rejected by both atheists and religious peoples, but religious people tend to be more understanding towards them. Agnostics do worry about an afterlife unlike atheist that think people just stop existing after death (sucks to be a dead atheist). Agnostic people are more open minded than atheists and are a lot less annoying since they don't call their opinions facts all the time.

1. [Matt Groening] may be an agnostic, but at least he's not an atheist like that jerk [Seth MacFarlane]. 2. Atheist: You're agnostic right? Tell these catholic nerds that there is no God and that they are stupid for not sinning. Agnostic: I can't say that because there is no proof that God does not exist, I'm just not sure which religion is right\! Atheist: The fuhrer will be very unpleased with you, how dare you disagree with me\! Everything I say is fact\! If there was a God I'd be him. Agnostic: Right, why don't you sleep on it. Atheist: We shall one day take over the Earth and when we do you religious peoples and agnostics will suffer\!

28. (agnostic) (38↑, 35↓)
Agnosticism, contrary to popular definitions, is not a belief. on the belief system you have theism and atheism. Agnosticism is in the knowledge system with gnosticism. Now you can combine these two. Agnosticism means without knowledge, and gnosticism is with knowledge. So you can be an agnostic atheist, an agnostic theist, a gnostic atheist, and a gnostic theist. You can't be just a plain old agnostic.

"I'm an agnostic" "Agnostic what? agnostic christian, agnostic atheist, agnostic muslim, or what? Please tell."

The people who wrote it made some glaring mistakes and got some pretty simple facts wrong, but there's still a chance they got the god thing right. Atheist: No... there is no god. Religion was obviously a means to control flocks of stupid people, then Christians invented attrition, so now people who believed in religion were smart because they didn't get their necks slashed for not believing in god.

Common belief dictates that agnosticism is more rational than "strong" atheism, but by this logic, the only "rational" belief would be one of extreme philosophical skepticism in regards to everything, as it is impossible to prove or disprove something with 100% certainty. I doubt you would find many theistic agnostics, however, who are agnostic in regards to something like the existence of fairies in their backyards. It can therefore be argued that some agnostics are inconsistent in their beliefs.

Agnostic: "Gods existence can neither be proven nor disproven, or is unknowable at this point." Strong Atheist: "God does not exist." Theist: "God does exist." Christian Fundamentalist: "lol stupid agnosticz what kind of word is that anyway? nywayz, enjoy ur eternity in hell while i'm up in heaven with baby jesuz lusers\!\!\!\!\!11one"
