Agnostic means you cannot know if there is a god, whereas atheism rejects belief in a god.
I do not know whether god exists or not, for a certainty, though I do find it unlikely, and do not believe god exists. Thus, agnostic atheism.
Gnostic atheism would be stating that there is no god, and you can know and show it.

There are also agnostic theists, and, of course, gnostic theists.

EDIT: Now with a linky: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnostic_atheism

I suppose that makes sense...

In a way...

So, you're like Dawkins?

I thought Dawkins vehemently fought against God's existence.

But, if you say you are not holy, and you are, are you not lying? Le gasp! :O

He recently talked with the Archbishop of Canterbury, and desrcibed himself more as a "agnostic" than an atheist. Said he was 99.9% sure God didn't exist, but wasn't completely sure.

Wait...

You're not one of those that believe only Catholics can go to heaven, are you?

No, that would evil of God to condemn some bush men (or other secluded groups) that have heard never of Jesus for not believing in Him. I believe the Church is the surest way, but only God knows who will get to heaven.

Sounds more gnostic than not, but the terms are somewhat fluid, I guess. *shrugs*

Not exactly the most religious person here (shocking, I know), but as I recall it told, you do get some sort of last moment to repent, and accept Christ, even if you're not Christian. Or am I wrong?

The only one that I don't believe are that claim they are is the Mormons (I have friends who are such) and Jehovah Witness.

So why are those that are secluded condemned for never having the chance to accept Him?

If you are holy then you are humble. If you are humble, you would not put yourself above your fellow man (consider yourself holy). I guess that is a good answer.

They did not accept Christ as Savior. That is the requirement.

There is a whole argument for this, but I don't know it. My spelling any grammar is going downhill (only thing holding it up now is Apple's amazing spell check), so I'm going to go apply for a Fascist alliance and go to bed. It's 3:51 A.M. here. Night, y'all.
