I use "Ignostic", "Agnostic", and "Gnostic" on a claim by claim basis, but the atheist part never changes.

You are just a rotting piece of meat. There is no God. There is no higher calling, no purpose, nothing. You just fester here until you die.

"You're born, and you die. The bit in the middle's called life, and that's still to come."
-- Lister, Red Dwarf
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Aren't all christian theists technically "agnostic theists"?
If someone "knows" god exists then they behave like robots don 't they?
That's what I've often been told when asking "where's the evidence".
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful. — Edward Gibbon

Not at all, many are satisfied with their faiths and have no requirement of knowledge.  

Hebrews 11:1
Quote:Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Yeah, plenty of them can't stand to admit to any possibility of error.

They cling to certainty in place of reasoning or evidence.

But hey, nobody can force you to call yourself anything; you can use whatever label you feel comfortable with.  It's just that when you're talking about the concepts and ideas behind the words it's important to be clear.  From the words that you've used, I would call you an agnostic atheist (like most people here).  That means you don't accept the claim "A god exists" but you also DONT make the claim "A god does not exist."
Maybe it comes down to your source.

My source says they (atheist and agnostic) are two different things.

I want to be convinced totally that there is not a God.


I got you bro. Here it comes. You ready?


Please define "god" for me.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
