[Theism]-->[Insert X]-->[Agnostic Atheism]

RE: [Theism]-->[Insert X]-->[Agnostic Atheism]
It wasn't that much for me actually. Grew up an atheist. Read some bits about religion and figured the Bible cannot be literal. In other words the God partrayed in the Bible cannot be exactly real. Then I figured there might be some undefined God. I do not believe it, but I cannot know there is no such God either. My views became a bit more refined or intellectually mature. Without knowing what it was called, I realized I was an ''agnostic atheist relating to non disproven Gods'' by the age of 10 or so. Though I think the label is ridiculous such has been my mindset ever since. After analyzing the issue I figured there probably are only agnostic theists and agostic atheist, making the addition of the word ''agnostic'' unneeded.

If you use a definition of agnosicism that says ''the truth is unnknowable'' then of course this does not apply. That is not what I think, so then ''agnosticism'' does not apply to me. (The truth could be knowable, I just don't think we covered everything yet.)

You understand I think people did a pretty bad job with the definitions of words. I would have done it differently. Label or not, I still think what I said in the first part. ROFLOL
