Topic	Agnosticism is a cop out, "agnosticism" doesn't exist
Dustin1280 03/06/18 9:11:14 AM #85:	Dragonblade01 posted... I would label myself an agnostic atheist, yes. That's the kind of atheist I am. What I don't get is why you separate "atheist" and "agnostic atheist" like they're two completely unique things. When I think atheist, I think someone that does not believe gods exist and for whatever reason they are sure that no gods exist. Now truly that would be a "gnostic atheist." But almost no one uses the term gnostic and most people that describe themselves as atheists to others are actually gnostic atheists. Those that describe themselves as agnostic when religion comes up usually lean one direction but don't outright dismiss the other as a impossibility. Granted, this isn't always the case but it does seem to be a common factor. --- RIP: Canuklehead, Karma: 1369 // RIP: Gen_Lee_Enfield, Karma: 1731 // RIP: Orlando of the Axe, Karma: 1642 // RIP nayr626 Karma: 4395 --They delivered! <cite>Dustin1280 posted [p:897267829] in Agnosticis...
