This differs significantly from it's theistic counterpart. The gnostic theist claims convincing evidence of a god but an agnostic theist only claims unconvincing evidence of their god of choice, relying instead on pure faith. Because "convincing evidence" cannot equal "unconvincing evidence" they are separate paths as apposed to the additive atheistic path.
Sure but what some see as "convincing" others see as "unconvincing". it's purely subjective.
Yeeeeeaaahh. It IS purely subjective to declare oneself a Gnostic Theist vs an Agnostic Theist. Is there something I missed??
