Sigh. OK. I'll answer each question:

There's not much point to that. (More below.)

You state chatting with Christians is fun?

Yes, I did.

You consider dialoging with Christians fun?

Yes, I do.

I am sure you have more exciting things to do rather than chatting on a forum with people who oppose your method of belief. What are you trying to accomplish by dialoging with “Christians?”

(Quote marks. )

Yes, I have more exciting things to do, and I do more exciting things. I'm not on AFF 24x7.

What is it you seek here?

I seek the Holy Grail.


But seriously, I came here originally just to explore something I wasn't very familiar with. Since then, I became an agnostic, but stayed for several reasons: I made some friends here. I like provoking thought, and sometimes in avenues that folks may not have explored before. I like prodding and poking and, yes, rocking boats. And stirring pots, now and then.

But another reason I stay is that I would like to demonstrate to you good folks that the world is bigger than your religion -- that some people outside of it are not such bad people. We're not evil. We're not fools. We live our lives without your dogma and we get along fine. Better, in fact, that some people in the dogma.

There may be some that are in this fold that shouldn't be. (Gasp!) Maybe some of my posts my wake them up.

If you are agnostic, you should be on an agnostic forum reaffirming and strengthening your agnostic belief with other agnostic individuals.

No. Where's the fun in that?

But, really? I've never been to an agnostic forum, but, well, what would it be like, anyway? What is there to "reaffirm" or "strengthen", and why would we want to do that?

The agnostic "dogma", if you want to call it that, doesn't include any tenets that I know of protecting it from the incursion of doubts or "false doctrine". The Agnostic Bible, if it existed, wouldn't have passages that say "if anyone brings you a different agnosticism than the on in this book, let them be accursed" or "lean not on your own understanding of agnosticism" or "agnosticism's ways are not our ways" or.... You get the idea. Maybe.

(Now watch. Someone will find an "Agnostic Bible" somewhere and post a link, just to prove me wrong. Well. That's cool. Learn something new every day. But I really hope it doesn't have those things I said it wouldn't have! )
