| Sep 7, 2016 at 16:41 | comment | added | Ask About Monica | So many arguments give some special status to the concept 'God'. The atheist/agnostic argument is pointless when arguing about the existence of unicorns; why do we waste so much time debating the specific nature of disbelief of one specific unprovable concept, in a sea of an infinite number of unprovable concepts? | |

Question is about whether atheism or agnosticism is more rational. Not about rationalism as the epistemological view.

| May 12, 2015 at 23:30 | comment | added | Cheers and hth. - Alf | Are there only Christian agnostics? Anyway, good idea to define "rational". An answer very much depends on it, so much so that I think that when or if you have that definition, you also have your answer. | |
| May 12, 2015 at 14:39 | comment | added | user13955 | It look like a good question, but as I said here, philosophy.stackexchange.com/questions/23738/… some atheists, even some atheists hold the very-thing-itself-in-turn-God can not be reached so that they say knowing properties of the very-thing-itself-in-turn-God is enough. I think you are a bit too much pushing on or toward "proof". Personally, if one can not know something, then I think we better keep quiet about it. | |

@Budhijeevi But science proves that reality is not subjective,.. -- Are you certain that your following statement was published or proclaimed by at least one scientific body and got positive peer reviews, not to mention the results been reproduced widely? It seems to me a very bold claim. After accounting how scientific community progresses, not to mention this brilliant piece, I would like to have citations here.

| Mar 21, 2015 at 23:44 | comment | added | commando | Consider that agnosticism, as you've defined it, is a positive claim about the impossibility of reason to determine God's existence. It is qualitatively no different from gnostic atheism or theism: one is making an assertion which requires rational grounds for justification. By your definition, do you think this permits one to declare agnosticism any more rational than atheism? Soft agnosticism, the claim that one simply does not know and leaving open as possible that one may know, on the other hand... | |

copy-edited; also bumped to the top because this question is more important than the 10 rubbish answers we just received
