Agnosticism or Atheism?

I haven't "asked the audience" in a little while, so here's one for all of you out there in the blogosphere: would you rather see a post on agnosticism or atheism next? If you want a post decrying apathy (I know one of you might), that would fall under agnosticism.

Atheism, they just seem more willing to fight. Not all agnostics are apathetic, but I wouldn't want a lazy agnostic being forced to debate. Go for someone who really is pissed at God and the world...it'll be more fun.

I didn't mean to imply that all agnostics are apathetic. I guess there can be apathetic people in all positions.

Okay so one vote for atheism.

Hi Kyle,

I would like to see both. But I suppose agnosticism is more personally interesting to me.

Kyle said...

I'll do one on atheism, then one on agnosticism in the near future. I can't promise anything groundbreaking or original, but I probably can promise that it will be thought provoking and challenging!

David said...

I'd like to see a post about why a reasonable person could be an atheist or an agnostic...

Kyle said...

David,

I probably wouldn't defend the view that atheists or agnostics are all irrational in a strong sense. I may defend the view that Christianity is a better understanding of reality, and thus is a more plausible viewpoint. I dunno, I'd have to consider the strength of theistic arguments more. I certainly don't think atheists or agnostics are idiots.

David said...

wonderful. Then a post about just that topic!
