That should be enough for anyone to stop believing in Bullshit 1.0, and all other versions that were based on it.

Did you know that there are magic stones inside the Moon's core that influence our mood swings?  Go ahead start your religion.  Call it Bullshit 4.0

     Perhaps not 2000+ years ago; however, with the modern miracle of science, it is quite possible for a pregnant woman to be a virgin. Also, emergency rooms bring back people from the dead all the time. Perhaps not people that are dead for more than a few moments, but brought back nevertheless. Furthermore, science is getting better at genetic engineering. It may be possible to create a horse with wings that can fly. Probably not all the way to outer space though and the horse probably could not be full size. (Although some pterodactyls were quite large.) Also, we cannot part the ocean at this time. However, a few more advances in science may make even this feat economically viable.
     Personally, I consider myself an agnostic. However, I think it is quite possible a technologically superior extraterrestrial being could pull much of this off. What we can do today with our fingertips would have been considered quite magical one hundred years ago.

FYI, although you may well know this, someone who is 100% certain that God exists is NOT a believer, or a person who has faith.

At least the Christian theology I am familiar with, and the writings of JC, are very clear about these matters. Look at the way JC slammed people that wanted to see miracles or "proof."

etc, etc. So you have it correct, and the religious should be agreeing with you instead of arguing.

Atheist teaches, and the religious listens not.

Read the rest of the sentence in the dictionary definition.  Agnostic is someone who holds that the existence of God is unknown.

We all are agnostic in a way.  Some of us are more convinced in God's nonexistence or existence than others.

You might be 99% theist and 1% agnostic, someone else might be 99% atheist and 1% agnostic.  Others are 100% sure one-way or another.

In the end, it does not matter as there is no scientific evidence of God's existence, so it is a moot point.

Some people are just imagining what they want to imagine, others come up with philosophical inductions to convince themselves that what they believe makes sense.  While atheists are just not convinced that the proofs that theists present are valid.

As for the scriptures, I hope we all can agree that they contain a lot of nonsense.

You might believe that Osiris or Jesus came back from the dead, but that is just being delusional.  You can believe in some pantheistic God, but in the end, you are probably deluding yourself as well.

But if you come out and believe in all major religions, all I can say you are definitely delusional as the fundamentals of each religion are based on nonsense.  Pregnant women cannot be virgins, people don't come back from dead, horses do not have wings to fly to outer space, people cannot part oceans to cross on land.  If you can demonstrate that any of it is possible, please post a youtube video.  

Look up the definition of delusional.  

A theist understand that God is much greater than he is. The theist knows that his own ideas might be flawed or incomplete because there is a God.

The atheist is making his own determinations about his incompleteness. So, he is setting himself up as God, even though he says the opposite. After all, there is nothing greater than he is that makes his own determinations. So, he is essentially saying that he has God-understanding to make his determinations.

The dictionary says that "agnostic" means someone who understands that God exists - https://www.dictionary.com/browse/agnostic.

True, I am an atheist cuz there is nobody who can tell me logic way his religion... nobody.. If there is anybody religious, who can do it show me him 

The atheist does not set himself up as God, in fact an atheist thinks mankind evolved from microorganisms. In the distant future, some potentially more advanced species might overtake us and consider us homo sapiens as primitive animals too. There is no God in atheism, the concept is a man-made fantasy.

The agnostic is not smarter than the average atheist or theist, he basically claims the evidence are insufficient for both sides, and admits that the truth is beyond our understanding.

Complexity is not the same as design. All you have to do is look the words up in a dictionary to know this. But that is not the point. The point is machines.

ALL man made machines come from people using the examples found in nature. This shows that nature is a machine made up of machines. Machines have makers. Who or What made the machines of the universe and nature and physics. We have no even close to proven example of anything just happening spontaneously.

All that the complex design part does is to show that the universe Maker fits the classification of our dictionary definition of God.

yes ,I'm indeed religiously minded in the sense that I think all religion is a virus of the mind and thank goodness I'm not infected...

A common mistake, I don't blame you, just like I don't blame notbatman who thinks the Earth is flat. 

That is ok, try to read more

The only thing that an atheist is trying to do is, set up himself or mankind up as God.

At least the agnostic is smart enough to understand that there is a God far above mankind.

Why would anybody dismiss the idea that there might be a God who is as far (or farther) above us as we are above the microbes? After all, the machine-like qualities of the universe, physics, and science laws show that God exists. Machines have makers.

Let's agree to disagree.

BTW, your 'proof' does not prove that God exists.  You simply say that he exists.  That is your 'proof'.

Are you sure that agnostics are thinkers?

They are just as dumb as the religious fruitcakes, IMHO.

so.... not a chance nonsense written by goat herders 2000 years ago The Bible is fake news, eh?  

An atheist is not a thinker he is a believer .

An agnostic is a thinker and is willing to admit he or she is not able to answer most questions.

God or no God.  I don’t know how I can answer it honestly.
 That is an agnostic.
No god is an atheist he places his belief on nothing.
Yes god is a reglious believer he places his belief on everything.

Me = agnostic

Was once a religious believer.

Religion is the opium of the poor and the rage of the loser while god is the maker of losers

Yet it is YOU who calls my warnings threats.   

You got this backward mate, I am the one who is trying to save you.

But I don't think you can be saved, you are far too gone into your religious la-la land.

Drowning man thrashing out against someone trying to save him.
