I think they are. And the broader world of intellectual inquiry believes they are.
Again, you prove only your complete disinterest in any legitimate discussion. YOU and your clan are not the broader world of intellectual discovery! If you want to know the truth on that statement, then you should ask at random large numbers of agnostics and atheists. If you wanted to give any fair assessment of Paulpablo's observation, then you would have asked him why he believes that!

Quote:The only people who think you can be an agnostic atheist are the internet atheist community and the New Atheism that gave birth to them. They do this because they derive their ideas of atheism from Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris, who are polemical and not informed about the philosophical work undergirding an intellectually-driven atheism and agnosticism.

One of the benefits of combining the two is purely tactical: You get to taken on the weaker burden of proof of agnosticism, while still holding on to the label of atheism. 

I realize this takes the discussion in a slightly different direction, but I think it's worth discussing. For the perils of the New Atheism and their intellectual bankruptcy, see the article linked in my signature.

I'll be sending this to X-Files reboot producers.
Mr. Hanky loves you!
