Why do we have to convert or convince, rather than understand? Are we capable? Is there a difference?

Just trying to answer the question man.

From what you are saying here, agnosticism is the only way to go period. Since you can't definitively prove God doesn't exist, in your view, agnosticism is the only way to go. So the same could be said the other way. You can't definitively prove God does exist, so agnosticism has to be the way to g...

Technically yes, you cannot disprove their existence. But nobody I know claims the non-existence of any of these things as an irrefutable truth.

Boothby's comment was that the difference between what and atheist and a theist believes is that an atheist has proof and a theist does not... ...
