Topic	Agnosticism is a cop out, "agnosticism" doesn't exist
Dustin1280 03/06/18 9:06:35 AM #82:	Dragonblade01 posted... Rejecting a claim is not the same as claiming that it's false instead. This is a foundational concept in debating. If someone makes a claim, I don't have to claim that it's false. All I have to do is not believe it if the person making the claim hasn't made their case. I do not believe gods exist. However, I also do not claim that no gods exist. Why? Because I don't know. It's because I don't know that I lack belief. And my lack of belief in gods is what makes me an atheist. Then you are arguably a agnostic atheist. You don't believe gods exist, but you won't outright dismiss then as an impossibility or claim you KNOW that no gods exist. --- RIP: Canuklehead, Karma: 1369 // RIP: Gen_Lee_Enfield, Karma: 1731 // RIP: Orlando of the Axe, Karma: 1642 // RIP nayr626 Karma: 4395 --They delivered! <cite>Dustin1280 posted [p:897267667] in Agnosticis...
