same as i can't prove that god doesn't exist.

anyone that says that gods existance (or non-existance) is a fact is just being a fool.

i stick by what i said. everyone is agnostic whether they realise it or not. atheists and believers alike.

***to anyone who doesn't know, agnostic means that you believe the existence of God or the Divine cannot be proved. a christian, for example CAN be agnostic. they believe in God as a matter of FAITH. not a matter of FACT. It does NOT mean that you don't believe in God. thats is ATHEISM.***
i don't rule out the possibility of a God. i just haven't seen a single scrap of proof for it. so i am on the fence.

and seeing as not a single person on this planet can prove it either way, therefore, everyone is agnostic whether they realise/admit it or not.

EDIT---> I also feel, that it is people who say Gods existence is a fact are those who bring a bad name upon religion. they feel that they KNOW that god exists, and so they force their beliefs upon others.
These are the people who caused such things as the Inquisition, and the Witch Hunts. people who say that Gods existance is a fact.

religion could easily be a wonderful part of the human society, IF the believers stopped for a second and realised they shouldn't force their beliefs on others, for the simple fact that they can't prove their beliefs are true.

in other words. give people the benefit of the doubt.

The crusades, WWII (to an extent), the current stupid US vs the Middle East bullshit thing. In fact almost every war has had to do with religion in one way or another.
