WOW MMI thanks for saying what I was trying to say but couldnt find the right words to say for so long now so wondefully.

Thats kinda of the logic behind why I had to exclude the aethiest approach as being just as illogical as any thesistically sect specific belief system compared to that of the agnostic or IDK approach to the whole existance or not of a god or gods to begin with back when I was questioning my faith.

Its also why I lump the aethiests in as a just another type of belief system requiring "faith" to believe in what it as a system of belief proposes as truth or not.

Which is exactly how my philosophy and ethics and logic teachers all explained it too for the most part using abeit different sematical arguments.

In any event, imho no one should be anything other than accepting and tollerant that people are going to believe and or have faith in different things from each other for their own reasons.

Gee. I never get compliments like that!

Agnostics are basically lazy atheists. They don't really believe in gods, but they don't feel like understanding why. I once styled myself as an agnostic, until I started really looking into belief systems. That's when I understood WHY I don't believe in gods.

Its also why I lump the aethiests in as a just another type of belief system requiring "faith" to believe in what it as a system of belief proposes as truth or not.

I still think it's because you cannot quite comprehend how anyone can function without some kind of belief system, so you assume that atheism is such a system. It's like a mechanic trying to explain the intricacies of the brain. You're going to tend to get mechanical explanations. (With all due respect to mechanics.)

In any event, imho no one should be anything other than accepting and tollerant that people are going to believe and or have faith in different things from each other for their own reasons.

I AM accepting and tolerant! Until they start trying to force their beliefs on me, or anyone else. Until they start using those beliefs to justify the harm they do to others. Until they refuse to accept and tolerate my LACK of belief!
