It requires coming to terms with, and accepting <B> "Uncertainty" </B>.<BR/>"truth" is subjective to an agnostic. It is replaced by virtue and meaningfulness in the experential dialogue of an agnostic.<BR/>Science, rationalsm and Faith can be important to Agnostic however they are all held up to Uncertainty and skeptism in evaluation.<BR/><BR/>I er.. hate to label you but i think you talk more of skeptical athiestism , than <I>"agnostism"</I> here.<BR/>many athiest misuse term. <BR/>you might want to check out objectivism as well its gaining moment as a social and philospical form of thinking.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for being one of the few blogs that actually address concerns for agnostics.chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03535745385257545875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6250804275297393474.post-3910174266391120802007-07-10T10:46:00.000-07:002007-07-10T10:46:00.000-07:00You should investigate the label of being a non-th...You should investigate the label of being a non-theist...that might be more appropriate. I understand your claim about atheism...but I think that the label applies that have convinced themselves....for example Carl Sagan spoke on atheism in a similar way.

What exactly is going through the mind of the person who would say that?<BR/><BR/>The lack of faith in a god or of any sort of faith at all is the default position for humans. We are not born with faith or believing in a god, we are taught that faith. Surely, if one grew up and spent their entire young life never hearing about faith or a god, they would find the idea of it completely absurd. There is no intrinsic part of us that makes us have a belief.<BR/><BR/>That's why Atheist or Agnostic should be considered null labels, a cypher if you will. The number zero does not represent anything, it simply holds an empty spot. The same goes for the term Atheist: it does not grant any meaning or interest of its own, it simply marks an empty spot.<BR/><BR/>Atheism is default, everything else is a label.arbulushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03288220684950468206noreply@blogger.com
