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.

In my experience the sine qua non of christians in this country is, unfortunately, to want to ram you crazy beliefs about women's right to contraception, gays' right to marry, and virgin births down your throats.[/quote]
