There is an agnostic atheism or atheistic agnosticism, and the combination of atheism with agnosticism which may be so named is not an uncommon one.[4]<br /><br /> If a man has failed to find any good reason for believing that there is a God, it is perfectly natural and rational that he should not believe that there is a God; and if so, he is an atheist... if he goes farther, and, after an investigation into the nature and reach of human knowledge, ending in the conclusion that the existence of God is incapable of proof, cease to believe in it on the ground that he cannot know it to be true, he is an agnostic and also an atheist – an agnostic-atheist – an atheist because an agnostic... while, then, it is erroneous to identify agnosticism and atheism, it is equally erroneous so to separate them as if the one were exclusive of the other...</i><br /><br />see also - http://atheism.about.com/od/atheismquestions/a/strong_weak.htmLanceThrusterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02988610775554524387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19580203.post-54213452003994317062013-10-03T10:36:07.729-07:002013-10-03T10:36:07.729-07:00This article is more about the structure of formal...This article is more about the structure of formal logic than it is about whether or nor 'GOD'(whatever that is) exists or not. Frankly --until God is defined the entire debate is BS. And GOD cannot be 'defined' until he is known to exist.
