Finally someone who understands what agnostic atheism is.... Thanks vimoh coz in Indian circles all I see is 'them' discarding this position completely as if it doesnt exist.

Gnosticism deals with KNOWLEDGE.
THEISM/ATHEISM deals with BELIEF.

Knowledge is a SUBSET of Belief.

~ Matt Dillahunty

I don't know if there is a God(Agnosticism) & HENCE I don't believe in a God(Atheism).

Is it me or this video should've been titled 'The dance of Propositions'

[gurnoorsingh]

Appoota was only here for 1 thing- word salad.

[ankurmishra]

This guy was not even trying to listen what you had to say and what position you held or what you meant by it. Instead he just kept saying "I'm trying to say".

Atheism is not a belief, it is the lack of belief in a God. There is no belief.

[tam_chris]

Prof Paul draper.. atheist philosopher of religion... "One problem with defining “atheism” as a psychological state is that philosophers do not define “theism” as a psychological state, nor should they. “Theism, ” like most other philosophical “-isms”, is understood in philosophy to be a proposition. This is crucial because philosophers want to say that theism is true or false and, most importantly, to construct or evaluate arguments for theism. Psychological states cannot be true or false, nor can they be the conclusions of arguments. Granted, philosophers sometimes define “theism” as “the belief that God exists” and it makes sense to argue for a belief and to say that a belief is true or false, but here “belief” means “something believed”. It refers to the propositional content of belief, not to the attitude or psychological state of believing. If, however, “theism” is defined as the proposition that God exists and “theist” as someone who believes that proposition, then it makes sense to define “atheism” and “atheist” in an analogous way. This means, first, defining “atheism” as a proposition or position so that it can be true or false and can be the conclusion of an argument and, second, defining “atheist” as someone who believes that proposition. Since it is also natural to define “atheism” in terms of theism, it follows that, in the absence of good reasons to do otherwise, it is best for philosophers to understand the “a-” in “atheism” as negation instead of absence, as “not” instead of “without”—in other words, to take atheism to be the contradictory of theism."

With English comes 10 mins of high quality style.

Nicely done. I particularly liked the bit where he wanted you to say whether or not you believed in a Christian god, but could not when asked provide a definition of the Christian god.
We get a lot of questions regarding this unspecified undefined god, and then get asked why we don't believe in it.

[harman]

Its a philosophical position just read it up god dam

[thomascromwell]

Just use the Oxford English dictionary definition. I thought that's what everyone went by.

Alternate video title
Propewwsition😂

[milkyJuman]

I think u missed the point he was trying to make, although by the looks of it, he was trying to get you to agree with the proposition that such a being cannot exist therefore god does not exist. This would be in direct contradiction to your agnostic position, which he was desperately trying to create.

[Chamelionroses]

Is faced with an apatheist ...doubt he could understand even more so.

[alihome]

Why so much stupidity come now days in conversation...half video is about atheism and agnostic and again atheism...why he doesn't just make an agreement why so much drag

[MridulKaimal]

Appoota needs therapy.... the need to be correct by bringing and introducing so many terms that he doesnt explain and is not a common knowledge even by googleable sense. also @VimohLive i get you refuse to explain somethings again and again so make a video from time to time defining things that is commonly used by you would be useful. I as an audience grasp things better and quicker if its explained by someone than reading it off google. Its a request you can still refuse to and i understand that :)

[Chamelionroses]

So what does this agnostic think of sun worshipping as the sun itself to the point of some saying a sun is a god ...and others just tanning bums in the air?

[aravindvenkatasubramanian]

Lololol. You concluded that I'm trying to argue for Christianity when I was running the Logical problem of evil, which is an argument AGAINST god. That's sufficient to conclude who doesn't understand even an ounce of theology/Phil of Religion 😂😂😂

Expect a video response soon.

Proposition: god exists

if this prop is true acc to you, you're a theist

if this prop is false acc to you, you're an atheist

if you don't know the answer to whether it's true or false, then you're agnostic.

you seem to fall under the agnostic category so all he was trying to ask is why do you say "agnostic atheist" instead of just saying "agnostic", as both agnostic and atheist are seperate things as far as he knows.

now what you were doing is just rewording the definition of agnostic by saying "i lack belief in the prop" which is literally the same thing as what agnostic means, and you were calling this as "agnostic atheist"
