Enlightened [Elitist] Agnosticism

[robvalue]

Atheist means you suck the Devils balls and stick screwdrivers in children's knees. And you think the universe suddenly came out of nothing and you have faith that you know that there's no God and you probably smell.

No, that would still be atheism. If you don't accept the claim 'God exists', you're an atheist. That claim has nothing to do with the inverse claim that 'God doesn't exist'.

Yeah I guess you're right. Go tell that to some people.

That's where the term agnostic has caused a lot of confusion. Many people, including this guy clearly, see it as a middle ground. And it's not, there is no middle ground. If you don't accept the claim, you reject the claim. He is an agnostic atheist, but he doesn't know it. As well as a pompous nob. I read a quote from David Mitchell saying pretty much the same thing, they reckon agnostic is some intellectually superior position when they just don't understand the terms.

I mean, if you want to go around just saying you are "an agnostic" then you can do that. It just doesn't make any sense.
