I didn't think you'd have an answer. No worries.
I don't answer ignorance.

Partially correct.
Worthless post.
Learn the difference between agnostic and gnostic, then come give us a worthwhile opinion.
Isn't that something everybody does?
I see. I agree with you, free speech. If a student wants to bore the pants off an audience by banging on about a god then they should be allowed to do that.
They won’t let them talk about anything real that’s controversial though.
A valedictorian wanted to remember black victims of police brutality. She says her school cut the mic.
I've heard multiple people talking about revoking tax-exempt status from churches.Can you give me an example that goes the other way?

A Pee Wee Herman fan, were you?
So an agnostic person has knowledge of God?
Thank you for the clear demonstration of refusing to deal with facts.No candor is dealing with a truth where as you are simply demanding that others accept your lie. Thank you for the clear demonstration of why there is such discord between atheists and theists.
Thank you for your opinion.Religion is not a fact based prospect. It's make believe bull****. And, no one has to accept the delusions the so-called righteous present as fact. It's just myth and fairy tales, plain and simple.
That (second bolded above) is simply quibbling over the (slight?) semantic difference between "believing" and "knowing". What you know (believe) is that supernatural forces (beings) do not exist, even if they can be discribed in great detail (defined), because your belief (knowlege base) will not accept them as possibly existing.
I don't look at that as one "going the other way," but rather an effort to undo an example of what I was talking about - religion being entitled to special treatment in the public square.
Got another one?
Probably more accurate to say agnostics have knowledge of 'God claims', CLAX. At least, as an agnostic-atheist myself, that is my take on it. btw, Happy Holiday Season to you and yours.
There are many secular organizations that are also tax exempt, so I have no problem with treating a church like a non-profit tax-exempt 501(c) organization. However, sales and property taxes are another issue entirely. Everyone pays those, even the non-profit organizations, and so should churches. So it really depends on the type of tax.
See what I mean? It's not your beliefs being worked into every crevice when it's you doing it.
It isn't special treatment churches don't exist to be a profitable company. They would be like any other charity.
Churches aren't businesses they are not profits. It's not a special right to allow them the same exemption as any other non profit or charity.Sorry, once again? Please provide one example of "my beliefs" being worked into every crevice of public life.
Churches are not treated like other non-profits. If they were, I doubt anyone would be pushing to change the status quo.
I just don't understand the argument that agnostics are not atheist.
Look up 'parsonage' exceptions to pick just one of many differences. Allows churches to funnel millions tax free into real estate and development for the pastor's mcmansion.Churches aren't businesses they are not profits. It's not a special right to allow them the same exemption as any other non profit or charity.
By you suggesting that it's special rights that's based on your beliefs.
How are they treated differently?
