What are your thoughts on Richard Dawkins?
#3
RE: What are your thoughts on Richard Dawkins?
I think he used to be a lot more patient with people he had discussion with, but has lost it a bit after years of beating his head against walls of "lalala I'm not listening" like this:





Also, what do you mean by being an agnostic?  Most atheists are agnostics.  
Theism and atheism are positions of belief or disbelief.  Gnosticism or agnosticism are positions of certainty.

So there exist people who believe in God, and are certain of his existence, but also those who believe but do not claim certainty.  The latter are much rarer.
There exist atheists who do not believe in any Gods, but are not certain that there aren't any out there somewhere, but also those who are certain there are none.  The latter are, again, much rarer.

So, it isn't one question; Do you believe in God?), it's two questions.  The second question being; Do you know there is a God?
