The Gap of God
When we talk of belief, we generally take into account only two categories. Let us accommodate a third party in the believer and non-believer dilemma – the agnostics, the “I don’t know” category. Although this classification does not simplify the matter, this makes things more comprehensive. How does an agnostic view the world? Unlike a believer, a...  more...
