In one of my older dutch dictionaries there even is the meaning of agnosticism as fundamentally unknowability. On a useful scale its use should be undeniable and straightforward, it isn't (your need for notes illustrates this). Am I being agnostic when I doubt if it is me typing this? Of course not, I'm only being not absolutely sure about it.(July 5, 2009 at 3:07 pm)Tiberius Wrote: I don't think "agnostic atheist" is a wishy-washy title if you actually understand what the words mean (and the notes are there to explain). Far from being wishy-washy, it explains more about your view than a simple "atheist" title does. I think being agnostic about your atheism makes you a more intellectually fulfilled atheist.
I do. I disagree. I disagree
