Atheists can't hold office in the USA?

There are British subjects and there are people who are not British subjects - British and aBritish. There are people who understrand binary and people who don't understand binary - binarists and abinarists.The two concepts are not directly related.Your claim that there is nobody who doesn't understand binary is absurd.

Not at all. You're conflating things that are not related, knowledge and belief.The fact is that everybody is agnostic on the subject of gods, no matter what they believe.

That doesn't make any sense at all. We only believe what we can not know.

I don't know whether Bigfoot exists. I believe it does.

That's like saying if you don't know if you have cancer or not then you don't have cancer.You can believe you have cancer whether you do or not. You can believe you DON'T have cancer whether you do or not. At the moment, many of us don't KNOW whether we have cancer or not. We are agnostic.

You're the one who's confusing knowledge with belief when you claim there's no such thing as an agnostic. Do they?

Neither Huxley nor anybody else has the power to "allow" any such thing. You may believe that I'll agree, but you don't know whether I will or not. You're agnostic, whether you believe it or not.

If people ARE agnostic about knowledge, you can't say there's no such thing as an agnostic. That's all people are trying to tell you.Being agnostic "about belief" is a nonsensical concept. Nobody is arguing that.

You're arguing against a point that nobody is making.

Reminds me of The Little Engine That Could: "I think I am, I think I am." Descartes thought he was a gnostic about thinking but he was really agnostic.

Knowledge of the light in the room is external to your mind, i.e. objective; it can be confirmed by other observers.Belief in gods is internal to you mind, i.e. subjective. How can you possibly know your own mind with perfect accuracy?

Most of the time. What are the Jets? Sometimes. See, that's where your premise breaks down. A lot of people in a restaurant will look at the menu and say, "Hmmm.... What do I want?" I don't know.

I think the problem here is not that "agnostic" is a redundant term. It's that we don't have enough terms to describe the possible states: That doesn't make any sense to me.

Of course there's a don't know. It's always a don't know. Sometimes you're just a little more sure. So if I don't know God exists, I can't believe in Him? Would you care to think that through again? That isn't the way it is with gods though. If they exist, you get 'em whether you want 'em or not.

Democracy in action.
