thats what i've been saying. the only difference is you said you believe in deities. you didn't say you believe in "the possibility of deities". i'm saying that means you aren't agnostic. whether you think that deity has to be a defined one is irrelevant to the argument.

I believe in the possibility of higher powers, through transitivity of not beleiveing we can know anything is certain.

I don’t understand what’s complicated about this.

these are different statements.

my posts have been in response to the first quote in this post. its a line in the sand stance, compared to the second quote in this post, where you post the uncertain, actual agnostic stance.

I don’t see your logic in how those differ anything beyond slight semantics based on the wording. Same ideas.

believing bigfoot exists, vs believing the possibility of there being a bigfoot.

believing something is possible is a lot different than believing something is

Not equivalent to my statements.

Sorry. Wrong.

I care.

Don’t know. We don’t know what deities may or may not exist, so we cannot know the extent of their power(s).
