I am agnostic and I personally define or understand this stand on faith as the indifference to the existence of a God or a Higher Power. At least for me, or in my own stand, I think of Agnosticism as being human enough to question and wonder the root/beginning of things and try to consider the scientific or logical explanations of this. And then if maybe say, science can’t explain it, then maybe we either have to study harder or believe that there actually is a God. Either way, my stand would be that if there is, in fact, a God, I did try to be as humane as I can to everyone I know without depending on this God. And His existence would be well and good, so there’s a God, yay Higher Power who knows what’s good and what’s right. But that doesn’t give us the right to say rely all of our actions and the aftereffect thereof on Him. And if there actually isn’t any God, then well and good, cause I did try to be humane still and as much as there may not be this whole Majestic Being who knows all and is everywhere and etc, I did not depend on Him.
I have this entire belief of the so-called “predestined path” or “God’s plan” that actually says God doesn’t control your choices. This “predestined path” per se, is a list/series of pathways leading from one thing to another. Like say a tree’s branch and etc. If there is God and He did have a plan, He did not control you or made you do these choices and etc. Your God placed you at the beginning and your own choices would lead you around the place/maze. Your own choices of turns that would lead to somewhere else, and your own choice to either stick with it or go back or stay and give up and etc. Because the thought of “God’s plan” which is usually said to be God’s entire lay-out of how your life would be is actually opposing the concept of “free will”.
I would like to keep explaining my thoughts on Agnosticism but this is getting too long. So I leave this right here and I’d be more than willing to answer your questions later on
