→Am I (technically) Agnostic?: new section
:This is interesting. Certainly, Richard Dawkins's brand of agnosticism, which involves arguing vociferously against the existence of God, seems very different from what a lot of people would understand by agnosticism - a kind of fence-sitting. I might call RiDaw's (apparent) beliefs "atheism with a footnote" rather than agnosticism.--[[User:CPalmer|CPalmer]] 09:17, 8 March 2012 (EST)

:: And what about the "opposite" of Dawkins - people who think there is a God, act as if there is a God, but feel you can't empirically prove there is a God? If Dawkins is agnostic, so are they, technically. [[User:Gregkochuconn|Gregkochuconn]] 11:54, 14 March 2012 (EDT)

== Am I (technically) Agnostic? ==
I do personally believe in God, but I do not feel that we can prove that this is the case. Rather, I accept the existence of God based solely on faith and not on any proof. I do believe it is theoretically possible that there is not a God, but I do not believe this to be the case. Since I do not feel that we can meet the burden of proof of God's existence, does this technically make me agnostic even though I believe in God?
