its really simple. either whatever agnostics believe is a fact, that people of all religions believe and thus religious people are agnostics and agnostics are religious, or what agnostics believe isnt a fact, but a belief and agnostics have their own religion.

"if one had the mass of the sun, that ball wouldn't actually fall

it would stay stationary and pull the earth towards it intill they collided"

thats why if you look at how i worded it, i didnt say fall, but "hit"

the larger the mass of an object, the more gravity it exerts. if there were two balls with the same surface area and one was the mass of an orange and the other had the mass of our sun, if you dropped the one the mass of an orange first and then dropped the one the mass of the sun second, the one the mass of the sun would hit earth in less time. but if you had two balls with the same surface area and one was the mass of an orange and the other was the mass of an apple, they would fall at the same speed until one reaches terminal velocity because the earth exerts the same force of gravity on both objects.

better graphics = more expensive. and for any mmo to be without monthly payments, has to be at least advertisment to pay for the bills. in wow you get better graphics, better customer service, and new content.

so you're claiming the Bishop, and every religions person in the world that thinks there is no absolute evidence of God is an agnostic? then the vast majority of agnostics would be religious smile

then whats the difference between fact and belief? with the large majority of people being religious in the world, it seems like calling agnostic's beliefs as facts is about as appropriate as calling the earth being the center of the universe a fact in the 21st century.

videogames are not overpriced and software companies are getting [tree]ed. making games as graphic intensive as they currently are is extremely expensive; you're seeing video game brands that used to be on a single console trying to make their games compatible with all 3 consoles to make up for the dramatic increase in the cost of making video games, but thats a very labor intensive process.

piracy is common because the work to design a game is way more expensive then copying the game from one cd to another cd...

coffeeking, you are showing that you do no have any understanding of the topics we are discussing. i'm trying to educate you, but you're too dense.

simple question, if any definition of agnosticism was fact, then would not every educated person on the earth, regardless of their religion also be agnostic?

"
You're joking, right?"

nope.

heres the thing. if it was fact, then everyone of every religion that was educated would also be agnostic; but thats not true. its a belief.

vista isnt a failure, its a work in progress and is the way of the future.

the only problem i have with microsoft is so many things requiring microsoft; if other companies would make OSs that would be just as compatible as windows for every piece of software made for windows, i'd have no problem with microsoft's practices.

"So only the first kind is actually non-religious."

how do people know that they dont know about the existence of a God? any belief or set of beliefs can be considered a religion. you need to grow up and stop treating religion like the plague, and understand it for what it really is.

they are both non-religious because they both are on the fringe of the religions where the vast majority of people would consider them non-religious.

"we state that we cannot know or believe in any greater power because it is simply beyond human understanding (if it exists)"

sounds like a set of beleifs to me.

"not only that but religions are supposed to have gatherings as well "

just because a religion doesnt have gatherings, doesnt make it not a religion; thats seriously the weirdest criteria i have ever heard of for excluding a group from being a religion.

"
unfortunately, your claim that the majority say atheism is not religious is not true. proven in its simplest form by the fact that you are the only one saying so."

in a comparison to people of all religions, atheists are on the non-religious fringe, so are non-religious.

"
atheism is based upon BELIEFS and not facts, therefore a religion. argument OVER"

that was never the argument. atheism is a religion, and guess what, agnostics are part of a religion too.

oh and i love run on sentences, periods are Nazis smile

"But now comes your mistake. You argue that the only thing in common for atheists is the belief in the non-existance of god and that therefore they are not religious. To me it seems like they are religious, although only on a very low level (the level where you agree with that one "rule"/statement) so they DEFINATELY dont belong to non-religious. If you're not non-religious (absence of religious beliefs), you must be religious (existance of any amount of religious belief)."

well, there would be two different ways i could take this argument if we were in the politics forum. 1. i could debate the meaning of the word religious and whether a simple belief in a lack of God would be enough to qualify someone as religious and how people in todays' world and the known imperfectness of our senses make leaps of faith in life no matter their religion on topics other then religion and that simply believing or not believing in a God is no more religious then believing theirs really a monitor infront of you; or i could point out how the non-religious group is such a minority that their view of religious and atheism doesnt matter because the vast majority would view atheism as non-religious when comparing it to themselves and simply because you are at the extremes of a comparison, doesnt change other faith's place in the comparison.
