Ignosticism

RE: Ignosticism
Honestly, I don't see the need for yet another definition to complicate things even further when it comes to understanding the matter. For a very long time, following the definitions of your wiki link, I would have considered myself an apatheist, since I simply didn't give a shit.

But my problem lies with these definitions.

Quote: Like Ayer, Theodore Drange sees atheism and agnosticism as positions that accept "God exists" as a meaningful proposition: atheists judge it to be "false or probably false" while agnostics consider it to be inconclusive until further evidence is met.[8] If Drange's definitions are accepted, ignostics are neither atheists nor agnostics. A simplified maxim on the subject states "An atheist would say, 'I don't believe God exists'; an agnostic would say, 'I don't know whether or not God exists'; and an ignostic would say, 'I don't know what you mean when you say, "God exists" .

The borders aren't that clear cut as these fellows want to believe.
