When you eat a piece of Garlic, you are eating part of Him.

Atheism is all attitude.

Agnosticism is more thoughtful.

One cannot intellectually be an atheist. The reason is that intellectually, you don't have enough evidence to prove God false.

Atheism necessarily involves the will.

Agnosticism is the straightforward admission of one who does not know.

You don't have any proof to prove god real either.

So? I know He's real. I'm not required to prove Him. He proves Himself. If people don't want to accept that proof, that's their decision.

Otherwise known as "agnosticism". "Atheist" means the person knows for certain that God doesn't exist.

a·the·ism /ˈeɪθiˌɪzəm/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[ey-thee-iz-uhm] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun
1. the doctrine or belief that there is no God.

"Doctrine" is a strong word. So is "belief", depending on how it's used. Both connote a personal knowledge when used in referrence to God, not merely an opinion.

You Are An Atheist

I actually see myself as more agnostic. I don't believe in a higher power, but I'm not going to argue that I can prove it - I can only give reasons that give me cause to believe as such.

That's honest.

That very well could be strong agnosticism or possibly agnostic atheism.

I may fall into soft agnosticsm, because I believe I am still in a state of doubt somehow.
