Believers and atheists: How do you convince an agnostic?

All believers should be agnostics. Agnostic means "not knowing"; the nature of God is that he is not provable, otherwise it's not an act of faith to believe in him. I'm a Christian and a Quaker and I happily identify as an agnostic because I cannot *know* for absolutely certain that there is a God; if I could prove that there was a God then my religious beliefs would be pretty much on the same basis as my belief that there is such a place as China, even though I've never been there.

Of course, my way of thinking is less conducive to those people who are really religious because they want to be tribal, bossy, powerful or special, so it probably won't catch on.

Most so called "agnostics" are atheists...They just don't get what agnosticism means.

Atheism deals with lack of belief.

Agnosticism deals with lack of knowledge.

Thus you can not know about existence of God 100% yet you can still lack a belief in god.

Just like I don't know 100% that the Loch Ness monster doesn't exist yet i still don't believe in it.

EDIT: No Atheist claims to know 100% that there is no God. Where did you get that notion from? Atheism is a lack of BELIEF in God. All atheists are agnostics when it comes to absolute knowledge of God's existence or non-existence.

Of course, not only atheists are agnostic.Theists are agnostic as well...Well, those who are intellectually honest anyway.

The point I'm trying to make here is that agnosticism is not a theological position on its own.

I will just tell you my own belief; that the order of the Universe is so amazing, so profound, that it couldn't have just come into existence without a Creator that made it all possible. But of course I wouldn't force you to see it in my point of view. If you are happy in your own belief, then so be it. As a Christian though, I'd tell you too to search your heart, your inner being and you might find my God, your God, the God of all. :)

I dont...the only thing Im really interested in convincing anyone of is to not impose their bible babble etc on me....I dont really care what people believe as long as they do no harm to others...unfortunately religion has long done harm to others

keep your beliefs peaceful and you can believe what you like as far as I am concerned <8( }~~~

Money. I remain agnostic in the hope that someone will pay me to convert to their religion, or to profess atheism.

I don't care, and I wouldn't try to convince you of anything. I'm sure you're either happy with your current status or capable of making your own decision.

Why would I need to convince an agnostic, when they are comfortable in their beliefs and are not proselytising or spreading hate among others?

Why should I try to convince the agnostic? He is happy, life is short, leave him alone.

Why would I bother? An agnostic is entitled to believe what he wants.

Most agnostics are atheists who don't realize it. Once they realize that God has the same chance of existing as the invisible pink unicorn, progress will be made.
