Can Someone be Simply "An Agnostic?"

[FatAndFaithless]

This seems to be an assertion pulled from your ass. Dismissed, considering the source.

How did I pull this out of my ass if atheists do this online all the time. This is an outline of how they go about it:

-Redefine atheism to mean those who aren't theists (i.e those who "lack belief in the existence of gods")


-Thereby claim that since atheism (which they just redefined) isn't the belief that "no gods exist", they don't have to justify their position since they don't have the burden of proof or that they aren't making a positive claim.

-This results in all sorts of absurdities like saying that babies are atheists since they too lack belief in the existence of gods.


Are you really going to tell me you don't see atheists doing that? Because if you are, you're full of shit. That's the textbook move of atheists online when defending their position.

Not sure how the fact that I said it validates dismissing what I said out of hand.

...but atheism is just lacking the beleif in a god or gods..
