Padreko Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Asking someone if they believe in God, and then saying "I don't know if I believe in God or not" is not someone saying they are agnostic, it is just someone who hasn't thought about whether or not they do. But that isn't true though. There are plenty of people who have thought about it a great deal and that's why they don't know! Not knowing doesn't mean you haven't contemplated the issue or even done research on it. It simply means you don't know. Uh... Carefully re-read what Asimov wrote. He's notorious for being sneaky when he writes things, but generally on point. If you don't KNOW if you believe in something, its like saying that you haven't thought about it. Like if I ask you, do you believe that phosphofructokinase really converts fructose 6 phosphate to fructose 1,6 bisphosphate(i'm guessing you haven't thought about this). Its a symantics thing, but back to the god question, you must respond with "I suspend belief" imo opnion to fall into the agnostic category.. I think this horse has been beaten to hell and back again... However, I agree :-P *Scans horse with Tricorder* It's dead, Jim. *cooks horse with phaser* Want to taste horse nuts scotty?
