Geo - I like the way Rebecca Watson said it best: \"philosophical agnostic, practical atheist.\" Given that that 1% doubt will never be realized as anything concrete, least of all as the god you don\'t believe in, there is no difference in daily life between 99% and 100%.
- The atheist / agnostic argument bugs me.
With gnostic meaning (among other things) \\\"possessing knowledge, esp. esoteric knowledge of spiritual matters\\\" and theism meaning roughly \\\"Belief in the existence of a god or gods\\\" according to dictionary.com...
The old standby is that agnostic is about doubt, and that atheist is about certainty, but that\\\'s bogus in my books. An atheist IS agnostic, but an agnostic might not be an atheist.
As an atheist, I admit that I have no knowledge of the supernatural. I do not believe in a god, and especially not a personal god that watches me while I mastu... sleep... while I SLEEP. I have no knowledge of the spirit realm, likely due to its non-existence, and while that makes me agnostic, it\\\'s not the right word.
Agnostics can still quest for god; they can still care to find a personal god; they can STRIVE to find god, and remain agnostic. That\\\'s where atheists differ; we\\\'ve chosen to stop looking due to lack of evidence and due to a lack logical arguments for god.
Don\\\'t even mention Pascal; that wager\\\'s so bogus.
