Let's not quibble over the small details, OK? Us atheists could come up with some really good definitions for the people who have decided what they think WE are. BTW, that "quibble" is usually referred to as either hard atheism or soft atheism by people who actually have a clue about the subject. ;) > >>>You may be an agnostic. >> >>Nope. My life membership card in American Atheists says I'm an atheist, and >>that's good enough for me. Looks like you're confused to me. > >Rather like the Flat Earth Society, as regards cards. Yeah, like that, except nothing like it, as regards cards. I guess cards isn't your forte, is it, or maybe it's the Atheist part that has you confused. Either way, maybe you should stick to subjects you're more familiar with, if you have any. ;)
