If atheist = 0% possibility of God, then theist = 100% certainty of God.  Find me a Christian that has never had a doubt.[/quote]

Ah, but Christians don't pretend to be 100% perfect, in faith, in works, or anything else. That would be hubris, and it would be wrong. We leave that to you atheists.  :wink: [/quote]

Atheists don't pretend to be 100% certain, either.  But apparently that forces them to be agnostic according to the earlier poster.

So if atheist who are <100% sure are forced to be agnostics, then theists who are not 100% sure are agnostics as well.

OR, and I'm just throwing out ideas here, theists and atheists both get to define the meaning of the terms they use to describe themselves.[/quote]

These definitions seem pretty long-standing.  As another PP pointed out, the definition of "agnostic" is the most recent, and that's over 150 years old.  We have:
- atheist = 100% certain
- agnostic = not 100% certain, but no belief
- christian = sine qua non is to acknowledge your shortcomings

They are what they are. Nobody here is making these up.
