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?
