Re: Agnosticism Discussion
I'm finding it very interesting to see the way that we identify differently, yet have fairly similar beliefs. Both Thalassa and yourself primarily identify as agnostic, yet I identify primarily as panentheistic (specifically in relation the 'The Divine' or 'god' as we are discussing here, rather than spirits). I had never even considered agnostic as an identifier until this thread. I had always assumed that to be agnostic was to take a stance of 'I don't know and will never know' and leave it at that... which is patently not true. You have a hypothesis that you believe is plausible enough to create a spiritual practice around. But that begs the question... does belief require 'knowledge'. I don't think so. I have beliefs that I don't know the truth of. If I knew the truth of them I would call them 'known facts' rather than 'beliefs'.

Yep, and this is where I'm heading after 6 pages of this thread. I never realised that agnosticism could be applied in such ways... and yet here I am going... 'well I guess that makes me an agnostic believer'.
I think this is one of the best discussions we've had here recently. Certainly the most though-provoking. And I love that.
(of course... I still have two pages of replies to read... lol)
