Here is the main problem I have with agnosticism: the negative connotations people have with the concept. I’m a disbeliever. Denier of God’s word. A lost soul. A depressed introvert. And – the one I hate the most – an alternative form of an atheist.
Yes, I was kind of depressed when I decide to be an agnostic. But that is because I had a hard time accepting the fact that most, if not all, the religions were corrupted by religious occult powers – like who would pull a sick trick like that.
I am not a disbeliever. I am an aware inquirer aka skeptic. Inquirer and skeptic are synonyms - by etymology definition not the enclosed dictionary definition, so don’t look it up. (well, not that way…lol) I like to say I’m an inquirer because it’s more positive then saying I’m a skeptic.
I’m a spiritual agnostic, and I believe God is indescribable in today’s secular world. But I do believe that there’s some unique spiritual being out there who has a lot or all the answers.
If there were not so much corruption in our world’s history, I would not be an agnostic: I would not have anything to be skeptical about anything.
And should I be punished for this?? ….No! |
