Are Atheists just close minded Agnostics?

[Songbird]

An Agnostic does not see any evidence for God so therefore does not believe in God but they do not disbelieve either. They think there is a possibility that either could be true.

Ah, I thought you meant something more complex by "system".

 

[Songbird]

This explains so much.

I just picked Sapphist because I thought sapphires were involved. I was wrong. Also was an animist for a while until I realized no one was talking about puppies or horses.

I have a system for roulette. It beats any other system out there in the long run. I call it "not playing."

I thought you said "staffist." Oh , nevermind.

I don't know what that would be...of RF?

Um, er, yeah...that's right.

I guess a person can call themselves anything they like.

Words are signs. Everyone using them is pointing. They're just not always all pointing at the same things.

(And some are pointing at themselves, go figure.)

Someone who believes in walking sticks?

Someone who believes in walking sticks?

What kind of crazy person would believe in walking sticks? They're called canes.

You're a very compassionate stick owner.

The belief that there is a possibility that God exists. To be an Atheist, you must not believe that there is any chance that God could be real what so ever.

You can't disbelieve there is a God and then say there is a possibility I am wrong and be an Atheist.

I like this from general debate section

We are all atheists about most of the gods that societies have ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.

There... I like this one, from that website:

The Agnostic: "...do not pretend conclusions are certain that are not demonstrated or demonstrable."

 

[Songbird]

And a safe stick walking practitioner

Ha, yes!

Wait. If any of this involves innuendos or double entendres or menage a trois or quadruple bypasses, I'd have no idea. I'm very innocent.

I really like that one.

 

[Nakosis]

I really like that one.

Especially the part about not pretending...

They don't believe but they don't disbelieve??

 

[riley2112]

Sure you can.

I don't hold the belief that a god or gods exist, but that doesn't mean it's not possible. Not holding belief in god is what makes me an atheist. It's that simple.

Are other people really so arrogant with their beliefs, that they think they can't be wrong? Scary.

I really don't agree with your conclusions however you present your arguments with logic and , may I say style. I think you may be an alright kinda guy. irate:
