I get where you’re coming from. But given what’s at stake, agnosticism isn’t a neutral position. If the question touches on something as serious as life, death, or eternity, then it’s worth digging hard into the possibilities now—not later.

If there is a God, and if there is a path to Him, then the cost of not looking is higher than the cost of being wrong. An informed decision requires real investigation, not just waiting for more data to show up.

A lot of talk about religion here seems to involve threats and fear—while professing warmth and love.

I’ll find out for sure about my after life, if any, after I die. In the mean time I’ll live my current life the best I know how (with a couple of sins here and there 😊).

The thing I have a lot of trouble believing is that God is really all that concerned about whether I believe he exists or not. Is he really that insecure?

I couldn’t care less if an amoeba believes whether I exist!
