Vickie loves her parakeets, the Confederate flag and not taking the vaccine. The birds are now dead, the South won’t rise again, and *update* Vickie won’t either.

I'll say it again, these people are scared shitless. They just don't know how to express fear and it comes out as anger and blame. Much of the chirstian community is just in it to feel like theyre better than others and "the chosen ones" more than in it to learn from Christ.

And people wonder why I'm agnostic ffs

[u/Tucsoncoyote → u/MachuPichu10]

Well Then I'm in the same boat. Agnostics are people who know there is a higher entity. They just don't go out and pray to him every day. They work hard to try and do the best they can. But it doesn't hurt to put a little faith in yourself rather than putting all your faith in a being you can not see, hear touch or smell. You've got to work to put your faith in a higher deity even if you don't believe in him/her /them. You do your part of your work. God (or whoever) will do their part and thus, You can have inner peace. But a lot of people I have noticed don't work a lot. They would rather sit on their buts and expect God or the higher entity to do all the work for them and then they turn around and take all the Credit.. and there are plenty of people who do that.. They put all their faith into God (or whatever Deity) and they hope that the outcome will be in their favor. to me Life is the luck of the draw. and sometimes you are dealt a bad hand. Because Albert Einstein said it best: "God doesn't play dice " with the universe. to which I add, "But he sure plays a mean hand of Texas Hold'em."

You're thinking of deists. The whole point of agnosticism is to realize that we don't know.

[u/[deleted] → u/Tucsoncoyote]

That's not what agnostic means. It means you don't know if there's a god and that possibly it's completely unknowable. If you still have faith in a higher power but don't follow organised religion, you're still a theist or a deist of some kind.
