Default Re: why does this forum care so much about religion

An agnostic theist would simply say 'I believe there definitely is a god, but I can't know'. Not all accept that this is a possible belief (some theists would claim the person is doubtful of god, militant atheists would call his belief irrational).

In very short and very simplified way agnosticism is the rejection of belief in absolute truths, based on the conclusion that as of yet there are certain things you simply can't know. Agnostic theists who take this belief to heart would claim there are things you can believe, even if you can't know them.
