They won't if your recurring sex act catches on...... do babies exist at all
An agnostic is an atheist without a backbone.
I love how you just ignored the whole appeal to authority fallacy problem.![]()
Because if I stopped saying everything you guys say is wrong, I'd end up a scientist.Why do you keep saying things that you have been told are wrong?

In today's day and age, yes, that is what I am saying.In other words, being a Christian requires saying things that are wrong, is that what you are saying?
And they are clearly not Christian......Else you'll find yourself operating a jitney or transporting petroleum or a vigilance worker or a ...
You don't seem to understand that by today's definition, and the way that most atheists defined atheism Einstein was an atheist.

Instead of relying on slanderous and dishonest comics perhaps you should be asking atheists what an atheist is. An atheist is someone that simply lacks a belief in a god or gods. Agnostics are a type of atheist. Just as there are many different sects of Christianity there are different levels of disbelief among atheists. If you asked Einstein if he believed in your God he would give you an emphatic "No."
This may help, but I doubt it:
Letters From Einstein About God (and Toys) Sell for $420,625
'On the issue of God, Einstein dismissed the widely held view that he was a confirmed atheist. "I have repeatedly said that in my opinion the idea of a personal God is a childlike one," he wrote to a man who corresponded with him on the subject twice in the 1940s. "You may call me an agnostic, but I do not share the crusading spirit of the professional atheist. ... I prefer an attitude of humility corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of nature and of our own being." '
It would appear, you are claiming that atheists claim a god does not exist? If so, you would be wrong and the fact you have been corrected on this endless times and you continue with a strawman, is telling.For all practical purposes I like to make a clear line of demarcation between those who aren't sure that God exists-Agnostics and those who are certain that God doesn't exist-Atheists. As for Einstein really being an atheisat, well, he just doesn't seem to fit into my personal definition. In fact, he doesn't even fit into the agnostic one either. So I guess we simply disagree on thus. The cartoon is simply to illustrate the confusion that such quibbling creates.
BTW
I never said that Einstein had the same concept that I have about God.
IMO, you have resorted to a straw man fallacy. Agnosticism is a statement with regard to knowledge, as in, I can't say a god/s exist. Atheism is a statement of belief, as in, I don't believe god/s exist.For all practical purposes I like to make a clear line of demarcation between those who aren't sure that God exists-Agnostics and those who are certain that God doesn't exist-Atheists.

Dear readers of this thread, on How to prove God exists, out of curiosity I looked up with google the following two phrases:
theists seek psychiatrists’ help
atheists seek psychiatrists’ help
And this is what google turns up, in ANNEX ONE for theists, and ANNEX TWO for atheists [see below in next from me]:
Google: theists seek psychiatrists’ help
About 446,000 results (0.48 seconds)
Google: atheists seek psychiatrists’ help
About 1,290,000 results (0.58 seconds)
So, what does that mean?
Well, the way I see it, atheists seem to be less mentally and emotionally as healthy as theists.
And why?
The way I see it, it’s because atheists have a dissonance between their psychology and their epistemology on the one side, and reality on the other side, due to their relentless but desperate i.e. frustrating and exasperating failure to achieve harmony between their psychology and their epistemology on the one side, and reality on the other side.
That means that atheists suffer from internal conflict between their emotional and mental status on the one side, and the default status of things in the totality of reality which is existence, on the other side.
And existence is the evidence to the reality of God existing in concept as first and foremost the creator cause and the operator cause of the universe and man and everything with a beginning.
Think about that.
