Subject: three philosophies of religion. |
Bible Note: Your right however in having engaged in discussions with many self confessed Agnostics I have found they attempt to play it safe. As I posted I view their prayer this way "Dear God if there is a God, and if you can hear me and are listening please help me if you can help me. They don't really say there is a God or not, or that God has power or not, or that you can ever get to know him or not. Your right most say God is unknowable but that also God's actions are equally unknowable. Therefore they like to cover all the bases. Kind of like buying insurance. Gnostics are believers it is just their approach that is different. They believe God is approached through knowledge and your absolutely right Agnostic is defined as the opposite of Gnostic however lacking a better term and the fact in actually they act as they do I think Agnostic really defines a person that sets in the middle of the fence between believer and Atheist.
