Re: Good question. (Middle ground)

Antonio,

I could not, and did not, say it better than your own recapp! I have long maintained that the "on-the-fence" Agnostic is probably the wisest of us all! Some of us, however, just can't "leave it alone." We must, by nature, continually strive to know, to the best of our ability, what the real "truth" is. So it is with me. I will not be content until I am dead.

Thank you so much for your comment!

Good question.

Essentially there is little or no difference between the two if they have closed minds on the subject. The atheists tend to align themselves with science and objectivity, but science only explains a small fraction of the total, and we will never be intelligent enough to understand everything that is there; only what we can perceive, and even then we maight fall short of understanding it. So the best is to occupy the middle ground of uncertainty. Certainty is arrogant and mistaken.

Re: the way you explained it they are the same.

Callista,

The way I see it, each party needs to give him/her self a big-time attitude adjustment!

Thanks for your lone comment. If it weren't for yours, I would not yet have one!
