Hi, an agnostic here ... just agnostic.

Agnosticism relates to knowledge; not beliefs. But... Welcome

Thanks. Just quoted the guy who put the word together and defined the ism. That's the way philosophy books describe it, as well. It's mainly just online a-theists, that separate belief and knowledge, for some strange reason. Knowledge is a belief, just one that's true and justified. But... thanks again.

Welcome  Welcome

That's nice. In my opinion, that's nonsense. But, thanks for the welcome, anyway.

This guy, along with others, pushed that kind of "elephant" = "carrot" nonsense, too...

"In this interpretation an atheist becomes: not someone who positively asserts the non-existence of God; but someone who is simply not a theist. Let us, for future ready reference, introduce the labels ‘positive atheist’ for the former and ‘negative atheist’ for the latter.

The introduction of this new interpretation of the word ‘atheism’ may appear to be a piece of perverse Humpty-Dumptyism, going arbitrarily against established common usage. ‘Whyever’, it could be asked, ‘don’t you make it not the presumption of atheism but the presumption of agnosticism?’" ~ Antony Flew
