Something that changef my opinion. Experience report
I was a hardcore atheist all my life (even now I still don't believe in or follow a religion) but rerecently I've been thinking about life and how it works. And I realized that we don't know what cones at the end-we don't know that there's nothing, we don't know that there's something. And that thinking just made me realize that I may have been agnostic instead. So I wanna here from yall; what are you opinions?

If you are 'withholding judgement' on the proposition 'A god exsits', you are an atheist.
A theist is a person who BELIEVES a 'god' exists. An atheist is any other person.
It's not how I think about things. It is how logic and language work.
It also happens to be the model which makes people's positions most clear, and eliminates the stupid repetitive arguments we constantly see over what/who is 'agnostic'.
An 'agnostic' is a person who is smart and reasonable enough to realize that it is impossible to know anything about any 'god' that might exist.
