This statement brings up an interesting question: What, if any, are the differences between Agnostics and Atheists?

Here's an interesting point of view, one of many.

Atheism vs. Agnosticism

It was always my understanding that an Agnositic was not convinced that God existed and felt that it required to be proven. However they remained open to the possibility. An Atheist on the other hand had come to the conclusion that God did not exist.

I know people who define themselves as an agnostic or an atheist based on which word they like the sound of. :dabs:

Some people take their religion more seriously than others. :pinch:

This thread made me think about the priests not being able to marry and I looked up the reasoning behind it to see if it matched what I thought was the reason. It was an interesting read. One part I'm sure wasn't intended to make me smile as it did though

There was much theology around the concept of a priest being the "bride of Christ" (Jn 3:29, Rev 18:23, 19:7, 21:9, 21:17. This was considered in the Church's decision. Scripture fairly consistently awards celibacy a higher spiritual calling than marriage.
