Agnosticism. For safety or sensibilities' sake?

But go head and remain completely agnostic, for safety's sake
Q: Is taking an agnostic position on unknown things, a matter of safety (as the quote above implies) or of sensibility aligned with current knowledge of reality?

what theology do you believe?
I think Natural Theism appears to be the most sensible position within the Theistic setting.

I have no beliefs so to speak, at least not religious ones.
If you have no beliefs, how are you a theist?
How are you defining "beliefs"?
Well you used the word. What do you mean by it?
I think that it is logically sound to conclude that The Universe is a created thing. That means that there is a creator.
If that qualifies as belief, then that is what I believe.
Perfect! I agree!
I should think so, but it would be assumption to say we agree on the details, would you agree?
Yes, again I agree. But agreeing on the foundation is pleasant, no?
Yep. :)

Oh!
What fun we have!
Walking the walk...
