Why Atheism instead of agnosticism of some sort
#19
RE: Why Atheism instead of agnosticism of some sort
I am agnostic in the sense that I cannot be certain that there is no god. Arguments against are not conclusive. However, I don't believe that God's existence is equiprobable to his non-existence, so I'm not agnostic in the common sense of the word. So, I suppose I am a 'probabilistic agnostic atheist'.

Simples.
'We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.' H.L. Mencken

'False religion' is the ultimate tautology.

'It is just like man's vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions.' Mark Twain

'I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.' Abraham Lincoln
