Whats to explain? I don't believe in any deities, but I do not have any sufficient evidence to believe in any either.

I'm not saying theres no god. I can't prove that.

So that really agnostic right? I got a friend who is a hardcore atheist (the type that get mad when you say bless you when he's sneezes:stopitslime:) and he always tell me religion and spiritual is illogical and quote guys like George Carlin (funny dude btw) but I always get him on the question how was the universe created. Because for me it's hard to believe this gigantic universe came from a sudden bang. If that was case I should be able to clap my hands a few times and have a Ferrari in my garage.
But thanks for replying man.

This is simple epistemology...the study of "knowledge" itself.

Atheism has NOTHING to do with Agnosticism

Agnosticism is what you know. I'm an agnostic because I don't know (since I can't prove a positive or negative claim) if any god(s) exist. Agnostic is simply not knowing something. Gnosticism is knowing something. Its intellectually dishonest to claim to be a gnostic-theist/atheist since you can't prove theres a god, and on the contrary its functionally impossible to prove a negative (See: Russell's Teapot and/or Hume's Problem of Induction)

Atheism is what you believe. I do not believe in any deities. Its the lack of belief. NOT the assertion of disbelief. Big difference.

I'm an agnostic-atheist.

The main problem is people thinking it goes: Theist-Agnostic-Atheist ...and thats completely false since the words have nothing to do with each other

Its like saying Coffee-Pick Up Truck- Tea

Its literally two different concepts: What you know, and what you believe.

I guess i'm an Agnostic theist. I believe in God, but don't know what religion to follow and I always question my former faith Christianity.

There's a lot of misunderstanding regarding atheism and particularly in the black community it's looked as being "against God" and really against morals and everything good and pure. It's like if you're not in constant fear of divine punishment then you have no motivation to be a good person.
