Due to constant misunderstanding with my name I feel the need to change my intro. I am hateful, hateful of religion. I hate what religion does to people and that people use it as an excuse to not think. I have spent many years of my life as an Atheist and have learned to handle my emotions, but no other word quite describes how I feel towards religion short of hate. I am outspoken, open minded, and will share my opinion. If you're looking for someone who will always agree with you, that won't be me.

Agnostics sometimes bug me…

So I often get the most hassle for the posts I make late at night when perhaps my internal censor is down a bit. During the recent Facebook debate I mentioned the person I was talking with started mentioning how he is actually an agnostic. (He ended up deleted me after I started challenging him, surprise.) It caused me to really press the issue. Agnosticism is just a speculation as to the availability of knowledge. Nobody is entirely an agnostic as I see it. Even if when pressed you chose to answer I don’t know to the question of if God exists or not you are going to live your life under a certain assumption. He either does, or he doesn’t. You are going to believe everything in your life is watched and recorded. (theism) Some force started the universe into motion and doesn’t care about it after (deism) or it didn’t. (Atheism) To break it down into very basic terms. Even if you don’t want to answer the question there is an answer. Even if you don’t want to admit to everyone else how you truly feel, deep down you know you feel a certain way. When presented with the very idea you must make a personal decision as to what you think is more likely, what you’re going to accept as more true until a time that more information is available, if that could ever even happen. Agnostics, you can be undecided for a while, but at some point, you have to make a decision. At some point you have to quit sitting on the fence and at least be honest with yourself.

    I was an atheist until I became a religion major. And now I’m agnostic, because learning about all the religions there...
