You don't stand corrected at all. An Agnostic isn't convinced or rejecting of any belief so it's quite impossible for them to be half anything as they aren't certain of anything. I'm a real Agnostic so i would know. People have started taking to connecting beliefs in a contradictory manner these days, it's just a stupid new fad. Sort of like how five years ago no one ever called themselves an Atheist because they didn't even know what one was, until it became the new word of the day. It was used on family guy and then it took off, it's true!
I don't know much about theology as I was raised baptist and figure it's all shit and not worth wasting any more of my time over. I took the Vtrees comment to be a way to differentiate between an agnostic who believes and an agnostic who doesn't.
I'm agnostic in that I don't believe it can be proven and I'm not silly enough to jump to a conclusion without the facts.
I like the idea of fractals. That our solar system is but an atom in a larger scale of being we refer to as god. The Simpsons had an opening sequence that described it better than I can.
"agnostic who believes and an agnostic who doesn't."
Thats my point right there, an angnostic can't be either of those things.
Example, person who believes in god = religious
person who does not believe in god = Atheist
Person who has no opinion on either subject due to the understanding that they CAN'T know = Agnostic.
So it's impossible to be an Atheist and Agnostic at the same time because Atheists have a set opinion. The terms directly contradict themselves so much it's crazy.
IIN that I don't want to tell my family that I'm atheist/agnostic?
