You can't hate what you do not assert to be real. If you assert that God is real, then you cannot be an agnostic.

You obviously have a rule book on hate. What page is this on?

God?

Come on, man. Seriously.

You're right.
What do you call someone who believes in God, but thinks all religion is bullshit?
I always thought agnosticism covered that, but I guess I'm wrong.

I believe the term you are seeking is "satanist."

If you believe that science has ruled out the possibility of a higher intelligence in the universe, then your understanding of science is corrupted by your own bias.

Like Dr. Awkward, you have never written a single post on economics or politics that has ever contained a fresh idea.

Wow.

I don't think that I've ever written anything I would consider serious on the subject of economics or politics on this forum, and if I have it was probably done while I was drunk, on myriad muscle relaxants or painkillers, or as I was masturbating to images of conjoined twins and typing with my big toes. So all that taken into consideration, there were most probably no fresh ideas. You are correct.

You've also just once again demonstrated how little you understand science and the way that science operates and the rules it adheres to in order to retain its status as being "scientific."

Smart.

God?

What is this the stone age?

Are we dancing around a fucking fire?

Seriously, come the fuck on.

Nope, it's completely true. If atheists truly considered God to be an impossibility, then they would never spare a second denying Him. Atheists believe that denial of God equates to reverence of science, when it is actually an insult to science, because denial of God violates a core principle of science: don't make claims you can't substantiate.

Have you ever had a conversation with a atheist, bonehead? It is totally possible to not believe in god with science never factoring into the descision.

Dude, of course God exists.
How else can you explain the Holocaust or the Yankee dynasty?
Someone has to be laughing...

You are a theist who rejects religion. Religion is not a requirement of theism. Theism is also not a requirement of religion. Capitalism can be categorized as a religion, and it requires no faith in a higher power.

An agnostic is someone who holds the view that any ultimate reality is unknown and probably unknowable.

Agnosticism is the only position that is respectful of science at the current time. Atheism and theism are both anti-scientific expressions of faith.

Honest questions:
What if you believe in God and science?
What if you view science as religion?
