MY GOD MAN, DON'T YOU SEE?!?! i don't call it absurd and throw it away i call it beautiful and worship it!!!

but you can also likely wrap your head around the idea that everything is nothing and still smile where most other people would start cracking.

then why do you even bother getting out of bed in the morning? what's the point of having the ability to reason? to contemplate? to have critical thought? if we shouldn't desire to know we shouldn't have the ability to think for ourselves. admittedly it would be super awesome to going back to being a baby and having someone take care of every single need i might have and 'not desiring to know' answers to bigger questions, but that's just not a realistic perspective.

the answer to 'why?' is irrelevant, hence the purpose of personal belief.

agnotstics believe there is something but do not follow any scripture or organized religion and usually have the belief that "we were not meant to understand"

That would be light theistic agnosticism.

Agnosticism is the belief that we can never know whether a deity/God exists. It's a seperate belief system. You can be both an agnostic theist or an agnostic atheist.

Well I knew it meant that it was the belief that we may never know if a God or deity exists I just didn't realize the flexibility within it.

This page is really helpful in grasping agnosticism. A lot of people blatantly misunderstand it
