Yeah, you do pretty well.... It's just a fine line, no? Always treading the border.
My complaint is with those who claim agnosticism, but are actually veiled atheists.
Sabertooth: That's not a scientific statement... it would require faith to believe it.
I suppose. True agnosticism is not knowing that stuff and not understanding how anyone can think they know that stuff. If I seem to be falling away from agnosticism, I'm not yet. I've been an agnostic since before I admitted it, before I hit my teen years. I know how to be one.

This pretty much describes me. I always thought simple lack of personal belief (atheism) is the only scientifically tenable position since you can't give scientific evidence for or against the supernatural at the level we're speaking of. To consider it would add an unscientific variable to the equations. It's as in "This dropped ball isn't accelerating at 9.8 m/s2. God's slowing it down!" No, before you bring in your deity, let's consider air resistance, etc.
Don't tell me that after all these years I'm not really an atheist, but an agnostic.
