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

Get the Agnostic mug.I can't prove or disprove god but the likelyhood that he does exist is so small that i am a tooth fairy agnostic.

Get the tooth fairy agnostic mug.A person that doesn't believe in anything. They don't know if God does or doesn't exist, and they don't let it bother them.
Contrary to some of the other bullshit definations on here, they aren't indicisive cowards or pussies. Don't let some fuckhead convince you otherwise.

Get the agnostic mug.The acceptance that you don't know whether God exists or not, and the acceptance that you don't care.

Get the pessimistic agnosticism mug."I do not consider it an insult, but rather a compliment to be called an agnostic. I do not pretend to know where many ignorant men are sure - that is all that agnosticism means."

Get the agnostic mug.The greatest set of 'beliefs' you can have. An Agnostic belives that there is no way of knowing if God exists or not. Unlike religious people, who are usually neither intelligent or open minded, or Atheists who are usually intelligent, but not usually open minded, an Agnostic is intelligent and open minded, smart enough not to be brain-washed into believing that there is a God who cannot be seen, but open minded to the idea that there may be one.
Most Christians will get very defensive if someone challenges that God exists, while some Atheists will treat every person who believes in God as if they are wrong, and there is no Gd and anyone who believes there is is stupid. Not all Atheists are like this, though.
A lot of Christians dislike Atheists and Agnostics because they have such a strong belief in God that they believe they know something for sure that no one can. What these people need to realise is that there is a very great gift that God, if there is one, gove us...free will. He gave us a brain which can think for itself and believe what it wants to...why wash it with things that some book or preacher say and make yourself believe it's the truth?

Religious nut-God is real! I know so because some book said so!
Atheist's response-You're stupid. There is no God. Religion was created by man, everything in The Bible is a lie.
Agnostic's respose-You have know way of knowing that for sure. There may be a God, there may not, we will only know for sure when we die.
Atheist-There is no God.
Religious nut-There is too! The Bible says so! You will go to hell for saying there's no God!
Atheist-You're stupid, there is no God, religion is a myth and was created by man.
Agnostic-There could be a God. It's not dumb to believe there is a God, it's not bad to believe there isn't one. Agnosticism is the best way to go!

Get the Agnosticism mug.1. Strictly, someone who believes that it is impossible to know whether or not God exists. Note that they may still be either an atheist or a theist, they simply do not believe it is possible to prove beyond all doubt that God does or does not exist.
2. Someone who neither believes fully that God exists nor that s/he does not exist. This is the more common usage. Note that such a person can be neither an atheist or a theist.
