I get the impression that my agnosticism post has been wildly misunderstood, but I really don't know how to be any clearer than I have already been.
|
I had another read of it and though I understood every part of it, I'm not sure whether I understand the whole.
Let's see if I can sum it up, starting with definitions.
Atheism = Belief that god does not exist.
Theism = Belief that god does exist.
Agnosticism = Claiming not to know whether god exists.
Gnosticism = Claiming to definitively know that god exists.
Question #1: Is there a name for claiming to know definitively that god does not exist?
Question #2: If I understand correctly, you get frustrated by people defining Agnosticism as believing that god might or might not exist. Is that correct?
Question #3: Why is that a problem?
