Militia Groups on the Rise in the U.S.

This is just sad & disgusting. What hate, fear, and ignorance has to offer these days. When I hear or read things of this nature, it makes me think about the first Americans. The Native Americans that had their land, families, & culture taken from them. TAKEN! I can rant all I want but that will never change anything. I can only feel better knowing that I am not consumed by fear and hate.

I BRING YOU:

Agnostic

Artist: Dan Piraro

I've come to find that the perception (based on ignorance) of an Agnostic is evil. I looked up the definition and this is what they all say:

• One who believes that it is impossible to know whether there is a God.
• One who is skeptical about the existence of God but does not profess true atheism. ~TheFreeDictionary

• 1: a person who holds the view that any ultimate reality (as God) is unknown and probably unknowable ; broadly : one who is not committed to believing in either the existence or the nonexistence of God or a god

~Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary

• * One who believes that it is impossible to know whether there is a God.
  
  * One who is skeptical about the existence of God but does not profess true atheism

• One who is doubtful or noncommittal about something.

I consider myself to be Agnostic by the definitions above, until proven otherwise.
