So if this is the case, which I know it to be. Then what is the difference between an atheist and an agnostic?

I was always under the impression that an agnostic is not opposed to the idea of a god or an afterlife, but has just not been convinced that anyone knows whether that is true or not.

The fundamental difference between Atheism and Agnosticism is vast and really no different than that of Theism and Agnosticism. Atheism is the assertion of the non-existence of any form of divinity, while Theism is the assertion of the existence of some form of divinity. Agnosticism is admission of the impossibility of knowing either.

I think atheism and agnosticism are orthogonal. Neither the existence nor the nonexistence of God are falsifiable, so you are either an agnostic or an idiot. However, it's quite reasonable to have beliefs about things that aren't falsifiable, so both theist and atheist are reasonable positions to take.

Complely wrong, atheism is the the negation of theism, not a completely seperate assertion that there are no gods. One is simply "I'm not buying your bullshit" while the other is making up different bullshit.

The fact you choose to define Atheism the way you do is simply so you can dismiss it as just another set of beliefs. Nope, it's just rejecting your god claims.

Oh damn, I'm completely wrong! This is so embarrassing. I salute you Gels for not buying my bullshit. Cud isn't the best fertilizer though :/


On the up side, I was also completely unaware I had a reason shitting steer. Anyone else care to purchase some thoroughly digested observation?
