I'm agnoistic about a lot of topics especially ones' I haven't personally tested, one of them is not my theology.
I'll try again, this time verbatim from my Chambers dictionary.
agnostic- (n )a peson who believes that we know nothing of things beyond material phenomena; that a Creator, creative cause, and unseen world are unknown or unknowable things.
( adj ) coined by T.H.Huxley in 1869 from Gr. agnostos, unknown, unknowable.
If people choose to use the term in other topics, good for them. But it does appear to me that the term is primarily concerned with theology.
A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
