Quote:"If you're not willing to pretend that matters of god can be certain, you're an atheist, and just say that, you fucking pussy."
-- Pen Jillette
Bollocks
By definition,an agnostic can be an an a-theist or a theist.
The terms have very different meanings. Atheism is about lack of BELIEF ,agnosticism is about lack of KNOWLEDGE.
----and Penn Jillette is an ignorant autodidact with a chip on his shoulder.

An agnostic does not necessarily say he does not believe, he may say only that he does not know.
The agnostic may believe in a god,but also believe that god is unknowable.That position has been common among mystics for centuries.
