Don't we all have to be agnostic?

Because we don't know what happened before the big bang really do we ? so we have to keep all cards on the table ?

I don't see it this way at all. Otherwise we should be agnostic about all things mythological. To name a few, Zeus and gremlins or my favorite, the flying pink elephant.

Now I know with absolute certainty that a majority of Christians would not accept or even given credence to the idea that Zeus might exist.

How many people say, they are unsure if gremlins exist and we should keep an open mind because they would help to explain why perfectly good machines break for no apparent reason.

Or the fact that the flying pink elephant has been documented over thousands of cases yet no one seems to think the flying pink elephant actually exists.

Why are people immediately certain of these things but as soon as it comes to the concept of god they halt themselves and immediately jump onto this other mode of thinking?

I say to anyone who is agnostic, they must be equally agnostic to all things mythological but I highly doubt that they actually take this position. It shows that they are not only contradictory if they do, but they dismiss their entire argument completely by not upholding it to all cases.

The agnostic has been described as the "I'll believe it when I see it" type of person.

I think it is probably true that most, if not all, of us are agnostic by that definition.
I doubt that there is a man among us who has no doubt. I think there are a lot of liars out there, hiding the fact of their doubt, pretending to be something they are not.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if all men were honest about themselves?

Why should you dictate my beliefs?

When you speak of the impossible, that does not include the possible. I will decide my opinions, no one else. If you can make sweeping statements from a dogmatic perspective, thats your choice ..not mine. Each and every subject of ethereal importance, I will consider and attempt not to be dogmatic on forming my views. To be agnostic is to admit we have not been convinced, its not a certain position its an admission.

I am not dictating your beliefs. I am saying to be honest and consistent to claim to be agnostic towards the concept of god, it would dictate that you would have to be agnostic towards all things that are also myths. You can't just pick and choose, "Oh I am agnostic with the concept of god but gremlins are not real." To say such things would contradict your reasoning for being agnostic with the concept of god. The reason being? You have absolutely the same amount of evidence for god that you do for gremlins. Why insist that god is some how an exception to the rule?



All I was pointing out is that typically people contradict themselves. They say one thing but they don't in fact actually believe what they are saying. To logically justify their position in a rational way they make up arguments but as soon as you slightly alter the argument they immediately jump to a decision. This proves that they are in fact not being honest.

Why is it you can state that gremlins don't exist. Yet when it comes to the concept of god, you make the statement, that you can not know either way? That is the contradiction I am pointing out to you.
