Re: never say never
An agnostic is a person who answers the question "does god exist?" with "I don't know".
There are two basic reasons for saying "I don't know":
1) because it's impossible to know (strong agnostic)
2) because I don't know right now but might in the future (weak agnostic)
An atheist is a person who answers the question "do you believe in god?" with the answer "no".
There are two basic reasons for saying "no":
1) because god does not exist (strong atheism)
2) because I don't actively believe in any god (weak atheism)
One can an agnostic and an atheist at the same time.
