I love that story. The Last Answer is also quite good. http://www.thrivenotes.com/the-last-answer/

Sigh....
There is a lot of confusion about the definition of atheism. An atheist is someone who does not believe in any gods...that is it.
Example:
Tom: Do you believe in god(s)?
Dick: No.
Tom: Are you saying you know there isn't a god?
Dick: Nope...
Tom: But you just said you don't believe god exists...
Dick: Yes, I didn't say I know (have absolute knowledge in the philosophical sense) that no Gods exist.
Tom: So you're agnostic?
Dick: Yes, an agnostic atheist.

A lot of blame lies on atheists for letting the term "agnostic" stand for some strange middle ground of belief between god or no god. Really all you're saying when you say you are "agnostic," is that you don't know. Well Tom didn't ask Dick if he knew whether god existed (most people don't), he asked what he believed.
It's simple logic, the one making a positive claim has the burden of prof. Its not up to me to prove there are no gods, anymore then it is up to me to prove there are no leprechauns. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
Tell me...what extraordinary evidence have you seen?

This is Dawkinsian redefining of words. You're an agnostic.

except for it doesn't come from Dawkin's...or his 1-7 scale that doesn't make a lot sense. Atheist = no belief in god, Anti-theist = belief there is no god.

Some of us have figured out how to shake our heads and let the idiot kids bicker. I just do my best to hold my hand out to any adults or kids that want a hand up to leave this oubliette of a question behind.
