Interestingly, Christianity does not advocate asking God to prioritize ones interests over somebody elses, but it states clearly that God already knows what you want.

Once it has stated this it goes on to prescribe a specific prayer.

But we digress ...


I am an agnostic because, coming from Hong Kong, I am all too aware of how chinese whispers works.

Even if people are reciting from the same scripture, they often represent a whole myriad of interpretation.

Given the huge array of accounts of God and how he/she/it has interacted with humankind, it seems unreasonable to me to subscribe to any specific interpretation or set of beliefs.

An agnostic feels that there is more to the universe than mere apparent physical solidity, but doesn't presume to be able to explain it.
