Is Agnosticism the same as Atheism?

[DioneTheDiabolist]

Well, that's it really.

I think that they are different but what do agnostic/Athiest MNetters think? Do you identify as either or both?

I shown you where it's logically flawed, so I don't really care what the generally accepted view might be. (Generally accepted by, er, theists btw).

No

Not the same at all, I am agnostic. I don't not believe in (a) god, but I don't 100% believe either.

Put I this way I would love to attend the conference at CERN about the Higgs bosun particle between scientists and religious bodies.

I am an atheist. I know that there is a possibility that Jesus will come again tomorrow, and I will have to rethink- but only in the way that there is a possibility the sun won't come up tomorrow morning. A remote possibility- bit not one worth giving brain time to.

Just to give you all something to chew over, I am a theistic agnostic.

What would be between them?

Nothing to chew over, ethelb - that fits entirely with the definitions of atheism & agnosticism that I gave right at the beginning.

I am (strictly speaking) an agnostic atheist - I don't know but I don't believe. You don't know but do believe, so you're an agnostic theist.

That you think think your position is unusual does highlight the dishonesty of the average theist who claims that, au contraire, they DO know, when they couldn't possibly.

You're just more honest than most, that's all.

"Put I this way I would love to attend the conference at CERN about the Higgs bosun particle between scientists and religious bodies."

Why?
