Enlightened [Elitist] Agnosticism

[robvalue]

For practical purposes, I "know" there are no gods too. I know what gods really are, they are a human construct. The problem with this can be that you're making a claim yourself if you bring it to discussion, and can then be subject to a burden of proof instead of leaving it all on the theist. So while I agree with you in principal, it's giving the theist something to grab for if you present it in debate. We win easily without having to make our own claims.

Matt D says the same, he's a gnostic atheist given a practical rather than strict definition of knowledge, and I'd agree. I'm fine with that. But from a practical point of view, it's putting it forward in a debate with a theist which leaves you vulnerable.
