I don't believe in a god, but cannot rule out the fact that a god may exist. In other words, my lack of belief is not proof of the non-existence of a god.
Furthermore, I do not find the concepts of Christianity (as emulated by Jesus, not the subsequent church) objectionable (like the guy who wears the T-shirt that says "Atheists for Jesus".
Who could object to Jesus, a man who taught total love and brotherhood and who laid down his life for those beliefs? Whether or not he was the son of God, the guy had balls.
I'm a little foggy on the difference between agnostic and atheist. Can someone tell me where I fall?
Agnosticism is uncertainly as to the existence of a god, atheism is outright disbelief. I don't know wbout you, but I'm pretty sure I fall in the latter category.
He is objected to, to this very day. Why? He was considered by the Roman government as an insurrectionist too dangerous to live, hated by the religious leaders of the day who called Him a drunk, He confused the politicians, and He offended everybody in sight, when He wasn't teaching, healing and ministering to the sick and lost.
That's MY kind of leader. He is My Savior. No one else comes close to who He is!
An atheist is a know-it-all, and an agnostic is an uncertain know-it-all.
Cordially,
