There aren't an agnostic option.

Then choose the third one.

That's because agnosticism is a bunch of hocus-pocus.

hocus-pocus

Off: the evil wizard (Gargamel) in "The Smurfs" is called Hókuszpók in Hungarian.

In any case, the question is "Do you believe in God?" as opposed to "Does God exist?", so it is probably OK to vote "no" even if you prefer to call yourself agnostic.

Because you can't say "I don't know" to a question of belief. Of course you don't know, but what do you believe?

[CTG]

what do you believe?

"I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door"

I believe in reason and science. Of course I would like that there is a paradise and when we die you'll live eternally in peace and joy. Unfortunately I don't know a concrete evidence of its existence.

Not having concrete evidence does not mean something does not exist. On the other hand, having evidence doesn't prove something to be true either. Experiments can be biased or not completely accurate thus giving a wrong proof of something

Then you're an atheist. Congratulations.

Not having any evidence does not mean something doesn't exist. But it does mean that it would be foolish to assert that it does exist.
If experiments are biased or inaccurate, then it's not evidence.

Or maybe not.... Are you saying that because you've heard this story so much, you consider it more likely to be true than other stories, even though the scientific evidence is the same as for any other story?

[alanrotoi]

I know what are you doing BJ, but no, I'm not atheist. I understand that maybe it bothers you.

I regret I can't explain myself as well as in spanish.
