Get the Agnosticmug. Person1: Praise *name god here* !
Person2: There is no such thing as "god".
Person1&2: What do you think?
Person3: If there's a God, awesome. If there isn't, a lot of people are going to be pissed. I really don't care either way. I'm agnostic.

The term 'agnosticism' was coined by Professor T.H. Huxley at a meeting of the Metaphysical Society in 1876. He defined an agnostic as someone who disclaimed both ("strong") atheism and theism, and who believed that the question of whether a higher power existed was unsolved and insoluble. Another way of putting it is that an agnostic is someone who believes that we do not know for sure whether God exists. Some agnostics believe that we can never know.
"Weak atheism" is simple scepticism; disbelief in the existence of God.

Get the Agnosticmug. One who believes that the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. Meaning that theres no evidence god DOES exist but theres no evidence god DOESNT exist. Agnostics aren't brainwashed like catholocs or christans
