what are you doing tonight? im arguing about beliefs when i could be having sex...
Well it doesn't really matter. I knew guys back when I was 25 that were the exact same age as me but looked 35 or even older.
Is there a reason you will keep avoiding telling me how old you are?

About 90% of atheists (ballpark guess) are agnostic atheists. Which means we don't know if a god or gods exist. And we readily admit it. I'm one of those 90%.
Too bad the theists can't meet us halfway.
Everything I needed to know about life I learned on Dagobah.

nope im 27.
is there any reason why you claim to be an atheist and have a quote under your name that says "I say Fuck the man in the sky!" when you claim to not believe in a god or gods?
atheism = "I do not believe in a god or gods." is not the same as "I don't have any belief in the subject of whether a god or gods exists."

It's literally the same f'ing thing, just put in fancier words.
No, the first is atheism, the second is agnosticism.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

no see, agnosticism is acknowledging they dont know, the wikipedia definition is really good. i like agnostic thinkers, i would consider myself one.
atheists do have a belief on an unknown subject.
the difference is this
"i do not believe in a god or gods" could be motivated by a hate for god or gods
"i do not have any belief in the subject of whether or not there is a god or gods" is admitting you don't know and that we do not have the means to know at this time.
huge difference.

you still have a conclusion (belief or disbelief) in your ideology of something untestable.
agnostic atheist is oxymoronic
somebody that believes in god(s) and hates them would try to make those two the same thing, they are very much different ideas.
