"IN other words, agnostics are just chicken shit athiests. " - Donuel

Cute, and perhaps somewhat true where atheism is frowned upon as severely as it appears to be in the US and certain Islamic states (although I suppose agnosticism doesn't go over too well there, either), but in countries like Canada, I think it really is a valid personal POV, held sincerely by people like myself who do not think we are omniscient. By some measures, I am an atheist; there are many gods in whom I don't believe, including the warrior god of Abraham, but I'm not able to state with absolute certainty that no deity exists: I don't know.
