A question about atheistic “beliefs” (opinions, guesses, etc.)

I am agnostic about anything that has not been established as impossible. Leprechauns, angels, and fairies seem a very remote possibility here on Earth...but I cannot logically say they do not exist. Neither can you, but that won't stop you.

And yet you never actually deal with the statements I made.

If your problem is with "positive atheism" or "gnostic atheism", then you should deal with the arguments made by those people (there are a few on these boards, but not many).  Usually the problem is with the definition of gods.  Gnostic atheists do have some good arguments.  They are not sufficient to cover all possible gods, but they may be sufficient to cover what most people call God.  You should look them up.

I am an agnostic atheist, but you have not acknowledged that this label makes sense.  You maintain that we must either call ourselves agnostics, or else are full of shit.
