Atheism strikes me as a type of faith....There isn't enough evidence in my opinion to form a concrete opinion against a creator.
My thoughts exactly. I can't call myself an atheist because I don't think there is enough evidence to make the claim that there is no creator. It would be like categorically denying the existence of extraterrestrial life, anywhere, in any form. How can a person possibly make such a sweeping claim? It is similar with the problem of God. I feel like it would be the height of absurdity for tiny me to claim that there is no god, even though I feel strongly that there is a complete lack of convincing evidence that one does exist.
JWs think that agnosticism is the "easy way out." I don't agree at all. I think it is the way that admits the limits to our knowledge, while remaining open to all possibilities.
