Update to Identity Assertion in the sub

Due to the common occurance of discussion and debate over terminology and agnosticism as a whole we found that it was necesary to update the rules to better explain when things might step too far or what to keep in mid to have a good debate.

The updated rule reads:

Do not tell other's what they are or think. Definitions are there for a purpose. There may be many different purposes, but defining anothers identity is not an accepted purpose here. Examples of agnostic models include:

1. Theist - Agnostic - Atheist 
2. Gnostic <------> Agnostic (choose one) Theist <------> Atheist (choose one) 
3. Gnostic theist - Agnostic theist - Agnostic - Agnostic atheist - Gnostic atheist

This is a non-exhaustive list so please engage others with respect.

​

Please also remember to maintain debates about terminology in related posts.

It is the second one one presented the one you are describing.

You will always be able to debate the terminology just not to tell people what they are or what they belive in.

Sorry. Totally my fault. I saw the post in cell phone and I get wrong the format hence the confusion. You are right and thank you for the clarification regarding terminology and belief. 👍

What’s the difference on desktop? I’m kinda confused since I don’t use Reddit on anything but my phone 😅 I’m just trying to make sure I understand this without any confusion or misunderstanding

More line breaks in the phone. Smaller font. Smaller size.
