Here's why I am an agnostic - because you can never absolutely certain of the existence/or lack thereof of God ! But the main problem is, IF there is a god, and if he created us and left us all here to kill each other and try to survive by not getting oneself killed, that is a very cruel, sadistic and uncreative god, by the modern moral yardstick! So even if there is a god, I don't think I would respect him by my present morality !
- ilitirit 17y agoI think there is far more to it than that. Take for example the question of creation. It could be possible that our Universe was created, but not designed (http://arstechnica.com/science/news/2006/08/5027.ars http://arstechnica.com/science/news/2006/08/5027.ars). Under those conditions, the creator would not be able to intervene in our actions (unless he/she/they destroy the Universe), so they couldn't really be classified as evil or immoral. Which also leads to some interesting questions: If this Universe was created by beings in a laboratory, and they somehow managed to convey this information to us and threatened to destroy the Universe unless we worshipped them, how many people would actually do it? Etc etc. Either way, as far as "God" goes, colour me apathetically agnostic. Nothing meaningful can be said about the existence (or lack thereof) of undetectable entities, so I don't concern myself with them. But unlike many atheists, I don't care enough about the topic to proclaim this view.
