Yes.
"THEISTS BELEIVE!
ATHEISTS DON'T BELEIVE!
AGNOSTICS LACK THE KNOWLEDGE!"
I once read that, "An agnostic is no more than an athiest without the courage of his convictions."
To which I replied, speculating to myself, "True perhaps, but the older I get, the fewer convictions I seem to have."
I think that theist / atheist agnostics is spltting a pretty fine hair. For some reason, it reminds me of the question of, "How many angels can dance on the head of a pin." A sort of an exercize in over-definition, if that makes sense.
By the way, where DID the pinhead / dancing angels question come from?

INCOMING! I have invited a rather interesting individual from the Augusta Chronicle (Kitty Lover 2001) over to the Skeptic Freinds. Staunchly anti-organized religion.
God save me from your followers.
That letter to the editor was really sick. I'm curious as to what Ms. Ray has contributed to our country recently. I'm sure I could stack my military record against hers and come out the winner. Oh, I forgot, she pontificates. I guess that's much more important than defending the rights of all Americans.
Oh, and BTW, what name will your friend be using? We'll give him/her a hearty welcome. If the aforementioned letter is any example of what gets sent to the newspaper, s/he probably needs this place.

Thanks Tokyo.
Now I have yet another piece of irrelevent info to clutter up a dustbin mind. And now I must go and find room for it.

No clue what name the individual will be using. I wouldn't term this person as a friend. This person did term Atheists flocking to the message boards to denounce Ms. Ray's views as on a crusade. A bit misguided and paranoid in my opinion. I thought a dose of reality would do him/her good.

@filthy,
I am having very little convictions lately. People say that if I don't stand for something I'll fall for anything, to that I respond: "Can I just sit down for a while?"
