A or not A in regards to theism

[Zoomie1986]

46. No, agnostic atheist is the precise term

For most atheists.

Agnosticism is the only intellectually honest position the rational person can have. We don't know if deities exist--and we don't know if they do not exist. Not with absolute 100% certainty. So far, nobody does. Even Richard Dawkins will tell you that he's agnostic about knowing if gods exist or not. He's reasonably sure they don't...but it's not 100%, even for him. Many liberal Christians and Jews think the same thing, making them agnostic theists.

A/theism is something else entirely. You can have doubts (or not) about knowing if deities exist (or don't); it's what you do with it that determines if you're an atheist or theist. Atheists choose not to believe any claims that deities exist, no matter what their position on 'knowing' is. Theists choose to believe they exist, no matter what their position on 'knowing' is.

So, no, agnostic atheist does make sense. It's the most sensible position there is.
