You are the one who is confused.  It’s been explained pretty simply, and with a link to a cartoon, so I can only assume you are being difficult on purpose.

[b]Dawkins calls himself both an atheist and an agnostic.  [/b]I am both atheist and agnostic.  Nearly every atheist is also agnostic.  All the “famous”atheists: Dilahunty, Hitchens, Sam Harris, etc, same thing.  Very, very few atheists claim to know there are no gods.  Please tell me you understand this fact.

Yes, they are different things. One refers to whether you have a religious belief and the other as to whether you know there is a god.  “Gnostic” refers to knowledge, and “Theist” refers to belief.  Different, but not mutually exclusive.

Got it now?[/quote]

This is pretty hilarious. Dawkins says very clearly in the Telegraph quote above that he is agnostic, not atheist. How can you argue that he defines himself differently from what he, himself, says in plain English? Insulting pp, saying she’s the confused one, doesn’t save your argument here. [/quote]
