Why do I fight it?

A lot of agnostics do think they’re atheist in my experience though. They’re actually quite different. I’ve been agnostic for long periods of my life, but never atheist. Both atheists, and theists encourage the confusion maybe.

Yeah, I think some people (the most orthodox of Mormons) would likely view me as an agnostic. In the colloquial definition of atheism, I couldn’t embrace a disbelief in God, though I could certainly entertain a lack of belief in god.

I always wanted to set up a Militant Agnostic Movement, kind of like the Skeptics thing. Imagine the chants…

“What do we want?”

“We don’t know!”

“When do we want it?”

“We’re not sure!”

😆 😆

I love it!

I love the cheer Sam Bee, totally how I feel!

Someone used to call me a fence sitter for being agnostic, and I always used to crack this joke. There is something to be said for it, but I suppose it’s not really where I am now…

Your right heber, thank you for the advice. I think my husband would love me still but I know he would be dissapointed. Your right in saying it will resurface later, even if I keep pushing it aside.

Thinking about what I have said in this thread, I keep saying I want this because it is easier, I want that because it is easier. I guess I just want easy I don’t really want easy per say, but enjoyable at least. Not to be too EFYish I guess I am not finding joy in the journey in figuring out what life means. I think it is bitterly laced with expectations that I feel like I can never really meet. I feel the expectation is to believe, and I can’t, or have not been able to yet. The thing I need to do is what has already been expressed, which is to cut myself off from the expectation then move on from there.Also drop the idea that the path will lead to a certain place, and be a peace that it will end up where it should if I try to find enlightenment for myself. Why I hold so tightly to expectations, I am not sure. I will keep on trying though.
