It was introduced because of confusion in the words and non-universal application of the words. Tell me what is the word used for a person whom believes that no god exists? Is there no word at all? Agnostic although has rooted meaning of no knowledge regarding the issue was used to refer to neutral stance. While atheism traditionally meant that you are belief of there being no god. But words are suppose to just convey a meaning. Not to be argued over what they mean. So I like this classification system as it convey specifically what everyone believes and how strongly they believe it. RE: Arguments against existence of God.

Believing no gods exist is atheism too. All you twats are trying to do is divide and conquer through irrelevant quibbling.
Ok I think I understood, so was the pope strong or weak when he ordered the attack on the gnostics.
Also Do you believe there is no God? A weak Atheist would say no, Does that mean no there is no god or yes there is no god what is the difference? or no there is a god or yes there is a god what is the difference? or no I believe there is a god or yes I believe there is a god or no I believe there is no god or yes I believe there is no god What have I said yes or no to? What does my answer mean? RE: Arguments against existence of God.

I didn't evade the question, I answered the way that I did because an agnostic atheist cannot answer the question unequivocally. "No" is an insufficient answer and implies something other than what I do beleive. Had the question been asked "Do you beleive there is a god?" it would have been much simpler to answer unequivocally than "Do you believe there is no god?". Examine the question "Do you beleive there is no god?". What are the implications of a "no" answer? It's a fucking dishonest question. RE: Arguments against existence of God.

Obviously, being an Atheist, if you answer, the 2nd would be what is assumed. That is the category weak/negative atheism, which commonly is referred to as agnosticism.
