Im Agnostic for reference. God is something, I am something, I and god might be the same thing or not. Thats everthing I consider truth :)

That's not what agnostic means at all; agnostic is when you aren't sure if there is a God or isn't.

Agnostics IIRC are people who believe what they see, aka I don't believe in god but if I see god Ill believe in him.

Sounds like me. I'm neutral until proven one way or the other.

Hum, my know meaning of agnostic is one person who believes in god, but not in any teories about him.

Ops :)

There might be a problem in conceptions about what is god as well. For me, whatever existed in time 0 (A important universal truth is that the first thing or things existed in time 0, because before was time there was no time for there to be things, and if things came to exist after time then the time that passed after time came to exist does not matter as since there was nothing nothing was affected by the time wich passed) is God :) Aka that means that the singularity would be god if it hadnt been created by something wich was created by something wich... You get the picture :)

Edit: Just noticed that the existance started with 2 things, because if there were only one thing everthing would be the same thing and thus there would never be anything diferent to cause a change.

I think the existance of a god is fundamentally impossible to prove or disprove. Therefore I don't see any reason under any evidence to draw a conclusion that a god exists.

Even if I percieved the biblical god descending from the heavens and explaingin to me in detail how and why he created the universe, I would consider it a trick or hallucination - I would try find a reasonable explanation.

There is no god until I find evidence of a god, and finding that evidence is impossible, so there will never be a god.

Does that count as atheist or agnostic?

Im not so sure religion is such a wise topic to discuss. A lot of people who believe in gods will refuse to listen to any reason why they shouldn't save to argue back. They could be prevented with absolute proof and they'd attempt to refute and ignore it if they failed to do so.

Just look at the attitude to richard dawkins books. People're told to avoid them as works of evil, even though any true religion would be able to expose their followers to them and be confident it would have no effect ^_^

I believe God exists... but I don't know the nature of God or really have any preference as to which religion I believe is right about him. IMO it's philosophically provable that on some level God does exist, so for me it's just a problem of figuring out what exactly he/it is.
