	US Bazaar.com : Encyclopedia Pages : Ignosticism
		Ignosticism is the view that the question of the existence of God is meaningless because it has no verifiable (or testable) consequences and should therefore be ignored.
		To the ignostic these abstractions, taken singly or in combination, cannot be said to be false; rather, they are muddled, self-contradictory, linguistically empty, or perhaps poetic.
		The consistent ignostic, therefore, awaits a coherent definition of God (or of any other metaphysical concept to be discussed) before engaging in arguments for or against.

	anthonyjaycee: Thoughts on Ignosticsm and Religious Complexity
		Ignostics commonly hold that statements about religious or other transcendent experiences cannot have any truth value, often because theological statements lack falsifiability, because of an epistemological view that renders the ontological argument nonsensical, or because the terminology being used has not been properly or consistently defined — the latter view is known as theological noncognitivism.
		The ignostic position is mentioned (though the term ignostic is not used) as one of the three forms of "critical atheism" (in Smith) or "rejectionist atheism" (in Nagel).
		Ignosticism is distinct from apatheism in that while ignostics hold questions and discussions of whether deities exist to be meaningless, apatheists hold that even a hypothetical answer to such questions would be completely irrelevant to human existence.

	Ignosticism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ignosticism is often considered synonymous with theological noncognitivism.
		Until this ignorance is cleared up, the ignostic is justified in ignoring putative arguments for or against.
		Hence, one cannot meaningfully expound on the existence or nonexistence of God.

	Church of Reality
		The ignostic is probably atheistic toward this notion, regarding the balance of evidence to deem against it.
		In taking this view the ignostic is in agreement not only with all atheists but, ironically, with any serious modern theist.
		The consistent ignostic, therefore, requires a coherent definition of God (or of any other metaphysical concept to be discussed) before engaging in arguments for or against.

	The Brights' Movement Forums > Salutations
		The ignostic holds a stronger position still: that the question of God's existence is inherently meaningless.
		From the ignostic point of view, God is a mode of thought, rather than anything which can be said to exist.
		But it now sounds like your ignosticism (I'm taking this by what I understand to be the normal meaning:- finding the concept of God incoherent, such that it cannot even be said to be false?) actual takes you away from the literal Spinozan identity of the universe with God.

		Ignostic, I'm interested in the way videogames could enhance magical practice, although so far I don't see anything which leads me to believe that they currently are.
		Ignostic: Based on the credentials of the researcher, I still think the Mozart analogy is valid.
		This is about as far as I can get before the discussion breaks down into Ignostic's anger that hir ideas are not being well understood and appreciated, and Gypsy, Mordant, and Quantum's increasing irritation at Ignostic's angry reaction and the fact that their criticisms have not been understood and appreciated.

	Prometheus Unleashed: That’s What I Meant
		Not that I’m reluctant to go off on a thousand-word rant, but simpler — or at least more coherent — is often better.
		I don’t know if the word will catch on (it is a bit of a neologism, which I’m normally loath to endorse), but it basically means that I neither believe nor disbelieve in the existence of a god (or gods), because I find the entire argument logically meaningless.
		I'm gonna use "ignostic" the next time one of my Christian-minded friends asks me again why I hate Jesus.

		Came from all the years up to college with catholic schooling but my parents were good enough to open the floor.
		Now I'm ignostic but through experiences (martial arts, etc.) with some amazing people and thinkers I've come in contact with "magic" or energy or whatever one feels appropriate to call it.
		Also the whole goal oriented conversation of life and death and what you do in it and afterwards can often times fail to see the beauty that lies in the process.

		The terms that I found definitions for in my last post are real terms and real subcategories of agnosticism/atheism.
		Or my beliefs are better described as indifferentism, another -ism that I'm not making up.
		Apatheism, a portmanteau of atheism and apathy, is a subset of atheism (when atheism is defined as lack of belief in deities, rather than specific disbelief in deities).

	Wherein a Christian and an Ignostic Come to Blows [Archive] - Sean Hannity Discussion

		The restaurant was relatively full for a Sunday afternoon, but the pair found a table easily enough.

	Dr. Ray Pritchard - Read Sermons & Articles - Keep Believing Ministries - Keepbelieving.com
		An agnostic says, “I don’t know if God exists;” The ignostic says, “I don’t know what you mean.” We’re now dealing with people who don’t know who God is, or who Jesus is, or what the gospel is, or what salvation is all about.
		The day is long past when we could simply float a gospel blimp over our town and drop Bible tracts over the side, hoping to bomb people into the kingdom of God.
		In an ignostic age, it doesn’t work at all.

	Morality with no god \| Progressive U (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Many atheists and nontheists, believe that the delivery of accessible socialized medicine is a key moral issue in modern society.
		If somebody, being an ignostic antitheist, is unable to possess a proper sense of morality, then there must be something wrong with the following morality-based proposition that (s)he believes in strongly.
		Tell me what's wrong with the following statement: The american healthcare system cannot be good if it simultaneously makes some people extremely wealthy while denying crucial care and inducing financial and health crisis for 40 million others?

		Topics have ranged from the variety within Judaism to beliefs about an afterlife.
		Among residents, there's a wide continuum, between J.T.'s rock-solid faith and Eli's atheism (actually, he says, sometimes he's more "ignostic," a term in "humanistic Judaism" suggesting that the question of whether there's a God doesn't really matter and can't be known).
