Being agnostic and being an atheist are two completely different things.
Atheist: No belief in god or a higher power.
Agnostic: Open to the idea of a higher power but believes you cannot prove or disprove it's existence.
It is possible to be atheist and Agnostic. It's called Agnostic Atheism.
It's possible to be agnostic and believe in a God. It is called Agnostic Theism.
Personally, I'm an agnostic theist, I don't press my belief in a higher being on anyone, and I don't say it's absolutely true. I just don't agree with any religious concept of God.

Review of Religulous
This is a very well put together movie. I find it very fascinating and very informative. It does a great job of showing what religion truly is and what it stands for. From 1-10 I would have to give this movie an 8. It is worth the watch and might even teach you a little something.
Thank you for reading,

The All Loving God?
Leviticus chapter 20 is just a blood bath. It commands you to kill homosexuals, adulterers, people who fuck animals, and all other sexually taboo people. That's the Law of God given to us by Moses.
I thought in Exodus it says "thou shall not kill", but I guess as long as they fit those guidelines it's perfectly fine.
And what kind of all loving being would even make a place similar to hell? Where just because you never believed in him you burn forever in a pit of fire? What if a man got shot and his last words were "God Dammit" out of pain? Would he just burn forever even if he was a very devout Christian? What about all these other religions? Even if they are good people, doing good things for nothing in return, are they banished to eternity in Hell? What all loving being would do such things, and make such a place. Especially if he claims to be all forgiving.

Did Jesus Really Exist?
Well my friends, here's a 3 part series that might give you some interesting information on this topic. I do not own these videos, but I will say whoever made them did I nice job and I give my full appreciation for them making it.
I encourage who ever sees this to watch these.

Is the Christian God really there? Is the Bible the Truth?
First off, in the bible it pretty much says that the earth is only around 6,000 to 7,000 years old, most bible studiers/authorities agree with this. Now, my first question is: How could the dinosaurs of existed 65 million years ago? We all know, if we use rational thought and look at the evidence that they existed much longer than 6,000 years ago. How about these findings of ancient societies that are OVER 6,000 years old. Like cavemen, Sumerians, Native Americans, and Mayans. We all know that they existed much longer than 6,000 years ago. Also, there is evidence of man walking the Earth 250,000 years ago.
Now, when you let that information sink in ask yourself, “How could the story of the creation of the Earth in the bible be true?” Unfortunately, for you who believe in the bible, this is simply untrue. Now if you really look at it, how could this be possible if we have SO much evidence that the story of creationism in the bible is false? Let these facts sink in, I know it’s hard to do, you’ve been hearing about God and Jesus your whole life, it might be all you know, but trust me; letting go of superstition is the only way to open you’re mind to rationalized thought.
Now, God is supposed to be all-loving, correct? Well I’m jumping forward to Noah’s Ark , where God killed every living creature on the planet, including mankind, except two of every animal, and a man named Noah and his wife. So first off there is no evidence that this flood ever occurred, secondly; there are around 5 million species of animals on the planet, and he took two of every animal. That’s 10 million animals on ONE ship…. How could that be possible? First off, they’d eat each other, and how could you fit 10 million animals on ONE ship? Technology was primitive in those days, so how could one man have built a ship large enough to carry 10 million animals?
Then, you go back to the all-loving God part, what kind of God would support genocide? Even if the world were wicked then, I’m sure our world is much, much worse. So why aren’t we being wiped out by an all loving God? Is it that he doesn’t exist, or that he decided to stop being a dick? I think it’s that the Christian God doesn’t exist, so do many scientists.
Now, let’s go to the virgin Marry, she couldn’t have been inseminated by a fictional deity, it’s illogical. She was probably gettin’ some on the side and when she got pregnant she simply said it was an “Act of God” and Joseph, Marry’s fiancĂ©, was pissed so he probably used some kind of drug, most likely hallucinogenic, and thought “He saw God”.
So, Jesus obviously wasn’t the son of God, although Jesus was a good man, and did good things, he simply was delusional, thinking that he was the son of a mythological being.
Also, I’m most likely going to be questioned on what created everything, so “God would obviously have to exist” and to that I say:
“What created God? Did he poof out of nothingness and declare himself the maker of everything?”
