I am a finite being. True certainty is not something I can experience. I can be 99.9999...% that there is no god, but never 100%. This is why I identify as agnostic and not atheist.

Both terms fit, but I like "agnostic" better.

So nyah.

Are agnostics really this foolish? .000...1% is the difference between agnostic and aethiest? I guess you classify yourself as a solipsist too. Give me a break you are an atheist, more so than most aetheists.

If that's what you feel inclined to call me, go ahead.

The no-god scientific theory is what currently works for me, but I'm not sure that's right. Never will. "Agnostic" basically means "I don't know," and that's what I identify with more.

Eh, it's just a label.

Um, 99.9999... = 100. I'm surprised no one pointed this out.
