Me too, yet I have the honesty to admit I am atheist.

Atheism is merely a lack of a positive. It is not the assertion of a positive itself.

I am agnostic only insofar as agnosticism is a posit onto our existences that we do not ultimately know. But because I do not know for sure if there is a god, I do not believe in him, ergo I am atheist.

You know, Katz, I think you believe exactly what you are saying but I find it to be a semantics game and somewhat offensive to those of us who reject the label of Atheist.

The word, Agnostic, is a relatively recently coined word which was intended to mean one who is without definitive knowledge of things supernatural, occult, etc.

That is what I am and I have no intention now or ever of muddying the waters by associating myself with those who believe that there is no god or gods and that this has been proven.

This is not dishonest on my part. It is quite the opposite; it is full disclosure.
