What's your take on agnosticism?
| 29% (66) | It's pointless to say "we don't know" or "we'll never know". We can't prove or disprove the existence of the flying spaghetti monster, but no one seriously believes in him, right? | |
|---|---|---|
| 36% (81) | Agnostics are probably correct that we can't know, or may never know. However, I think it makes more sense to place the burden of proof on those making the positive assertion, which is God's existence. | |
| 23% (52) | Agnosticism makes more sense than atheism, because we don't know and likely never will. Nonetheless, I'm an atheist because I don't wish to believe in God (or) no one's proven his/her/its existence. | |
| 10% (23) | No opinion. |
