Agnosticism

From PathfinderWiki
(Redirected from Agnostic)
See also: Atheism

Agnosticism is a philosophy whose adherents believe that deities and their actions are ultimately unknowable, and that it is impossible to truly know which powers are divine (and thus worthy of worship and adoration) and which are not. A person who believes this is known as an agnostic.1

Despite agnostics' ambivalence towards the divine, they are not without moral convictions and often follow a philosophy or acknowledge an ideal that empowers those around them.2 When agnostics die, Pharasma judges their souls against their own character without punishment, much as any other shade who does not have a pre-determined fate (such as animists or polytheists). They are then sent to a plane that most closely mirrors their own beliefs in life.34
