Is being an agnostic playing it safe?

"Revealed" by whom? Islam maintains that Allah has not revealed himself.

The same prophets as Jews and Christians believe in, plus Mohammed [and Gabriel] in the case of Islam.

@suzianne said
Of course not, and I resent your attempt to simplify and hijack my beliefs.

So, you were only referring to the agnostic Anglican priests?

But didn't God reveal himself through the Hebrew prophets?

Do you really not know what the terms "revealed religions" and "revealed Gods" mean?

God has revealed himself through scripture and to the prophets directly. Allah has not, according to Islam. I do understand what the word "revealed" means. Perhaps you think Muslims don't?

I was not referring to agnosticism at all. Sinking in yet?

There is the very useful definition that I've already provided you with.

So which Anglican priests WERE you referring to?

@suzianne said
Judaism and Christianity maintain that God has revealed himself to man and made himself known.

So does Islam. The Jews, Christians, and Muslims believe that the Torah was received from God on biblical Mount Sinai.

Really? Are you claiming, against all of Islam, that Allah HAS revealed himself? This would be news to Muslims.

Are you saying that Muslims believe that the Torah is the word of God?

God has revealed himself through scripture and to the prophets directly.

Some of the prophets of the Abrahamic God that Muslims believe God used to reveal Himself to them [and the Jews and the Christians] are Noah, Abraham, Moses, Isaac, Joseph and the list goes on. Jesus is one of Islam's prophets.

No, I am saying that the revelation of the Abrahamic God found in the Torah is also found in the Koran and the Old Testament. Did you really not know this until today?

I was not referring to Anglican priests at all. And, beyond the initial agnostic priest, neither was moonbus when he said that Anglicans are "fence-sitters".

Is your problem just a reading comprehension problem? I'm beginning to think it might be.

Through divinely and supernaturally inspired scriptures and prophets, yes.

This would be news to Muslims.

If you were to tell Muslims that you think that God has NOT revealed Himself to them through the prophets and the holy scripture, then I think they would find your opinion about the Abrahamic God very strange.

Regardless of whether Anglican priests are theists or agnostics? Are both theist or agnostic Anglican priests "crowd pleasers"?

No, not at all.
