I take a bit of offense when you refer to agnosticism like that. I consider myself to be agnostic, and what I see it meaning is I neither believe nor disbelieve religions (though I may find them unlikely) but I simply think it is impossible for me to know what the truth is. And I am not searching for a religion, and am firm in my unknowing. Wow that sounds like a huge rant, like I said only a bit of offense. I'm not mad or anything just wanted to set the record striaght
I don't understand what's offensive about that. It's religious limbo. If you're offended by that, you might not want to look at 95% of the other stories on here.
Religious limbo would imply that I am undecided about what I believe. I am not, I do not think it is possible for me to know what the truth is. I am not trying to figure it out, and am at peace with not knowing. I think when the time comes Ill know whats really out there. I guess what I find a little offensive it the suggestion that my belief is not firm as you would say others are. It is somewhat demeaning of my belief system, suggesting it is not a viable way to think about the world and that I must be searching to find something when I am content not knowing. ugh I hate that I always write so much, I think it makes me sound angry. I'm not I'm just trying to get my point across.
Is it normal to fear going to Hell even when you're an atheist?

Maybe change your status to agnostic and eventually pick a religion. Baby steps.
