Atheist or Agnostic?

I thought one only knew what one is when one fully understood every word ever spoken by four people you picked at random. Changing your story, or just failing to communicate because you're spitting out incoherent sentences?

It's a term used to define those who claim knowledge of the lack of existence of deities. Does that confuse you in some way?

Your words say otherwise. Also your species.

Of course you don't! Because you're special!

Tell me more! What does your supernatural ability to see into the hearts and minds of others tell you?

I was just starting to like the story.

I'm not sure this is English.
The truth is absolute. Life forms are specks of specks (...) of specks of dust in the universe.
Why settle for normal, when you can be so much more? Why settle for something, when you can have everything?

don't matter the grammar.  

 
just for the record, I agreed with dude and still youz dog piled on.  There must be disconnect in the brains or some deep emotional connections to a particular world view that is independent of facts.   I call them militant or fundies.  A very limited mind set in them two classes.  maybe they solely base their world view on philosophy?  Deep emotional responses and philosophy can screw a world view.  I wouldn't mix them two.  just bad mo jo there. 
 
not sure why you brought up the supernatural.   for me There is no supernatural.   But just read your post and get a glimpse into the heart and mind.  It aint rocket science. Unless you disagree that how a person treats other people is not a glimpse into them.  But then you would just be flat out wrong.  
 
I guess it gets back to my list my.  Try not to get emotional.  If ya thinks it wrong point out where.  If it is emotional ask yourself why. I am done playing around now.  Just the facts please.  I am always willing to discuss my misunderstanding of the facts.   I mean I don't know it all, but who does. 
 
 
the list stands as a valid generalization.  It makes accurate predictions on how people will respond to certain events around them.  Good coaches, good teachers, and good leaders make use of similar understandings.

When you're ready to address what I'm saying, let me know. The first step is to read what's being said to you. The second is to stop rambling about whatever's on your mind. The third is to speak coherently. The fourth is getting back to me, so we can discuss this like intellectually honest people. If you're a self-proclaimed "agnostic", however, I don't see this happening within either of our lifetimes.

sure kid.  right back at ya with the same ding.

 
you were addressed, and trounced so keep up the bulshit or stay on facts.  let me list them again fer ya.
 
The first step is honesty.  Then Fit the notion to yourself.
 
match the words. Atheist/theist, militant/fundie, agnostic, agnostic atheist.  
-this type works with logical fallacies. Data/facts don't really come into play for them.
-these don't know what they don't know so they just go on thinking what they know is enough.
-they just don't know so they don't know.
-these, probably 15 - 20 of the population know what they don't know.  
 
this is not a debate. its a lesson.   
ask, don't tell. 
and by no god if ya have to point to grammer go rub somebody else's leg.
 
"gnostic athiest" is self fulling bullshit term, it is not real.  move on from it.
see ya in munt or so.

Tiny brain?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Comet, have you met ricky yet? I think you should strike up a 'discussion' with him.

Ricky would win for sure. Like, we haven't even suggested a topic for them to discuss but I know ricky would win, just because of the amount of nonsense he's capable of producing.
