Oh, it's good enough an answer from Catholics about their faith, but not for non-Catholics.

Please show me where I said that.

How ironic that a self-proclaimed agnostic is demanding answers and then sitting in judgment on those answers that he receives as not being good enough for him.

I am not an agnostic. I am an agnostic /metatheist. Let me see if I can explain this to you in very simple terms. One of the eternal questions is: Does God exist? The atheist declares: God does not exist! The agnostic says: I am not sure if God exists. The deist/ Christian emphatically states: He does indeed exist and we need to worship Him. On the other hand the metatheist does not accept the proposition: God exists.

Now read that very carefully. I do not deny the existence of God I do not reject the existence of God, I do not accept the proposition. To a metatheist God is existence. To say that God exists is to put a limitation on the beingness of God.

You know what? NOTHING is going to be good enough for you.

What a coincidence because "nothing" is exactly what I have gotten from YOU!

Does this verse mean anything to you: 1 Peter 3:15 15 But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,

I ask sincere question and all yhou do is spew venom.

Kind of a New Ager...You are your own god...You admittedly are not a Christian...You have no spiritual knowledge nor wisdom...You're talking yourself right into hell...Why are you here, to try to drag people along with you???

Finally you explain your label of choice! Only thing is, it's clear as mud. Do y'all have an official organization and statement of faith/non-faith or are you a church of one?
