Facts don't care about your feelings.

The reason why the term "agnostic atheism" was coined in the first place is because the idea of atheism evolved over time as more people became atheist. It started out as a rejection of God, and evolved into a rejection of the supernatural. But later it evolved further, because more and more self-proclaimed atheists appeared (most of them just average Joes, not scholars), and they realized that most of them are agnostic, not atheist.

If all those people hadn't claimed to be atheists (most of them falsely), this distinction would've never had to be made.

Throw an F into the alphabet soup for fedora

too many As for atheist or agnostic

It's like political theory, it evolves over time, and unfortunately a lot of bad ideas enter the ring.

Many ideas that are just plain stupid

It happened to a lot of philosophies, too

Someone has a useful idea, everyone else tears it apart until it loses its meaning

Not sure what I should make of that

Supposed to make me laugh?

Aren't you a gnostic atheist?

No

So a theist, then.

No

So not atheist and not theist. Not-theist?

Yeah

Not theist? Or not-theist?

Both is correct 😄

I mean, if there's a different between a-theist and non-theist, there must be difference between not theist and not-theist.

I'm not theist, I'm not atheist, I'm simply agnostic. I'm open to the idea that God could exist, because if it's impossible to prove or disprove him, then that's the end of the debate basically.

Gnostic or agnostic not-theist?

agnostic

I used to be an atheist in my younger years until I realized that position is equally untenable as being a theist

Nowadays I could perhaps be considered an empiricist

Not sure

Tell be about "a" and "not" being different.

Damn.

Removed the image by accident:

Look

Linguistically speaking you can say it has the same meaning, but the history of atheism isn't fixated on that, because the historical context made it so that different terminology had to be invented as the idea evolved over time.

Therefore atheism and non-theism is not the same today, even though it could've happened to be the same if history had gone differently

It's like the difference between being social and being pro-social. You can argue it means the same thing, or not, depending on how you're arguing.

The terminology is not as important, the meaning or the definition is what matters

Agnostic atheism and non-theism is the same.

No they're not, I've explained why that isn't the case

Yeah, you believe in non-god supernatural, then.

lol no

I explained that in even greater detail
