Agnostic: noun Agnostic means a person who views the existence of ultimate truth as unknowable, particularly when it comes to the existence of God.
I counted four people today who did not understand the compatability of the two words agnostic atheist.
So to clear things up: agnostic atheist uses the adjective form of agnostic not the noun form. The meaning changes, it goes from the noun which itself is a belief, to a definition of not knowing (can be applied to many terms as a descriptor.)
Gnostic in descriptive form (adj) means knowledge but not in anything specific;
Agnostic in adj form means not knowing in anything specific.
Gnostic theist: a Theist who claims to know without a doubt there is a god (which is impossible to know without faith).
Agnostic Theist means a theist who doesn't know if there's a god but believes in god.
An agnostic atheist is an atheist who doesn't know if there's a god and doesn't have sufficient evidence to believe in god.
Gnostic atheist is one who believes without a doubt there is no god (also impossible to know without faith).

If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
