Yeah, so once again your beliefs are "better" than theirs...
This country was founded with an idea that each man should make up his own mind when it comes to religion. Remember that many people came here to escape the religious persecution in Europe.
We can debate theology and semantics all day. But basically it breaks down to this...
Having religious beliefs is like having a penis. It's OK to have one, and it's OK to be proud of it. But it's not OK to run around trying to ram it down everyone's throat.

Nope, being agnostic means I have no real religion to push on anyone. I don't really care to whom anyone prays, or how they go about it. As long as it doesn't harm anyone else, it's fine with me.
It's all about freedom.
I keep seeing your posts about Jesus and the Bible. Isn't one of the main tenants of the good book to "live and let live"?

Agnotic- n- a person who holds that whether God exists is not known and probably cannot be known.
Religion does not hold a monopoly on morals. There are many people that give to charity, volunteer to help the less fortunate, live an honorable life, love their families, respect others, and generally contribute great things to society. All without the need to believe that they will be rewarded for their good deeds, or punished for their transgressions; by some deity in the afterlife.

Roger that.
I guess we will have to wait and see what happens after we leave this world.
We may all be in hell, or we may all be in paradise...either way, I'll buy the first round of drinks:happy160:
