Agnosticism |
Agnostics talk about a "god", in their sentences.
What kind of "god" is that?
There are a lot of kind of deity.
When agnostics say: we don't know whether a "god" exists or not.
What they mean when they use the word "god"?
Is there a particular deity?
Jesus, or Yaweh, or Jupiter.
Thank you for your answer.
Bye bye

Christopher A. Lee ...
Why do you keep posting this?
Because there are a lot of opinions about agnosticism.
So, I'd like to know more about agnostics who are writing on this NG.
I'm talking of agnosticism about religion, about deity.
So, I'm asking what kind of deity they assume to say: we cannnot know
whether "god" exists or not.
It could depend from the kind of deity that a theist assume and agnostic
say: I don't know wheter or not this kind of deity exists.
But as you know, there are a lot of kind of deity.
e.g.
A believer could say: I believe in a deity who created our moon, and in
another deity who created our Earth.
What will agnostics say in this kind of case?
Will they say: I don't know whether or not that kind of deity(the first
created the moon, the second our Earth) exists?
People can invent a lot of deity. Do agnostics always say the same thing ? I
mean: we can't know whether or not that deity exists.
That's all.
Bye bye Christopher

And people have given you them already.
Why do you keep ignoring it and repeating your
meaningless question?

You'll have to start listening. You'll also have to realise that your
atheist/theist/agnostic "statements" form a false trichotomy, and that
even if they didn't they are based on theist premises that don't even
appy to anybody except theists.

And you've already been told several times why this is just plain
wrong. Are you stupid?

You've already been told several times why they wouldn't say anything
like this.

You're asking people to defend a straw man.

Are you referring to a theist or to an agnostic?
