To Agnostics, question for you

[OGirly]

I generally think the tern agnostic is a weasel word for people who either don't want to call themselves atheists or don't want to admit they're theists. One term (agnostic) deals with knowledge and the others belief (atheism/theism) so the two are not incompatible and I always think there is something dishonest about someone who trys to answer the question of whether they believe by starting they don't know. I don't know either, hence I don't believe so I'm a an atheist. Many theists don't claim to know either, but they do believe.

Perhaps I'm just being paranoid because I've spent too much time arguing with "agnostic" theists online though.

maybe a bit paranoid lol Saying you don't know is a perfectly valid option to most questions; and sometimes the wisest. Agnostic just means you don't know as others have said in the thread so if they are using the term correctly it's not really a cop out. They honestly just don't know either way; what they feel is what sends them in either atheist or theist directions in my opinion.
