Not necessarily...the difference is in whether or not you believe in a God.



If you do, but you don't believe in religion per se, you're agnostic.



If you don't, you're athiest.

 

ohh i always get my agnostic and atheist mixed up.

The only reason I know this is because a friend of mine said he was athiest but he believed in God.



So I discovered agnosticism. Is that a word? I might have just made that up.

 

An agnostic is a person who feels that God's existence can neither be proved nor disproved, on the basis of current evidence. Agnostics note that some theologians and philosophers have tried to to prove, for millennia, that God exists. Others have attempted to prove that God does not exist. Neither side has convincingly succeeded at their task.



and yes is agnoticism.



Atheism is confined to one factor: the existence or non-existence of a deity.



Atheism can be the positive belief that there is no deity.

Atheism can be the absence of a belief that there is a deity.

Atheist: No diety, the universe is it

Agnostic: Diety cannot be known, not possible to find out

Diest: There is a god but who or what we don't know

 

Why wasnt there a Rotaryism option in your poll?

 

If you dont believe in God do you still celebrate Christmas???



If a tree falls.....

 

Well sure you do!

Christmas is about bringing trees into your home, and buying gifts for people!

Jesus lost his part in it along time ago.

Another missed memo Jim?

 

How about Easter and St. Valantines day (he invented the V-1 and I love him for that) and and and Holloween. (If there is no god then there is no devil, right?)

 

Yeah, it's a commercial holiday now.
