agnostic mythology - agnostic apology lyrics

i’m not sure but i’ve been thinking about becoming an agnostic…to be free from faith in the unknown, to believe what is proven and to treat the rest as theory. religious people believe in god or something like that; atheists believe that god does not exist; agnostics just don’t know. it’s hard to communicate that you don’t believe in god without implying that you believe god does not exist. saying, “i don’t believe that” implies “i believe that is false.” you have to say something wordy like, “i neither believe nor disbelieve.”
agnosticism doesn’t necessarily apply only to religion. it’s dangerous to believe anything without question. people have faith in political ideologies and ways of life without conclusive evidence that they’re right. why do people pretend to know what they don’t know? i don’t know. agnosticism is not fence-sitting (although that may be an unfortunate side-effect). agnosticism is the acceptance of the fact that sometimes the correct answer is, “i don’t know.” it’s knowing that to pretend to know what you don’t know, won’t get you any closer to knowing
agnosticism’s not something you just decide to do, it’s something you strive for. i’m sure i have faith in all kinds of things that i’ve never even thought to question. like for example, i believe that my landlord is the devil. it’s obvious, but yet, maybe i should try to remain skeptical despite the evidence
some agnostics believe that the truth is not only unknown, but unknowable. that is, they think no one can know. but, i don’t know. that sounds like faith in your inability to know. i try to be sympathetic to people of other beliefs, because—who know’s?—they might know something i don’t know
for obvious reasons, agnostics don’t have a lot of myths. atheists have the scientific explanations of the origin of the universe for their mythology. but, to agnostics, these are just theories, not a statement of belief. so, i thought i’d write some agnostic myths to keep up with the other belief systems. but, a warning to agnostics: these stories are not true. this, i know, because i made them up. please, do not place faith in them
