You're confusing agnosticism with atheism. Agnosticism is the lack of a belief in general. Atheism is the belief that there is no God.

So you believe that Mohammad magically ascended into heaven? That Thor had a hammer that could cause thunder? If I remember correctly, Yahweh is not too fond of polytheists, and he has a special place for them.
You are trying in corporate all of the stories and all religions into one question. And that is not what I said. You are also trying to get me to say I am something I am not. I am not a polytheist. Please try again later.

No, actually one has to do with knowledge; the other with belief. So the two can be combined: Gnostic Theists know God exists so they believe in him. Agnostic Theists don't know if God exists but believe in him anyway. Gnostic Atheists know God doesn't exist so they don't believe in him. Agnostic Atheists don't God if God exists but they don't believe in him.

The court will punt, and claim it has no jurisdiction. Neither athiests nor the religious will "win" anything here, but we will get to prove that, once more, Lawyers will do anything for a buck, and politicians are idiots.

I didn't address "knowledge". I addressed belief. Both atheists and agnostics (as well as the vast majority of theists) believe that proof of the existence of God and therefore knowledge of His existence is unattainable unless God chooses to reveal Himself. Atheists, regardless of whether you incorrectly regard them as a special breed of agnostic or gnostic, straightforwardly believe that there is no God (they cannot "know" there is no God). Agnostics, on the other hand, are uncertain and choose to adhere to no belief as to whether or not God exists. Thus their "belief system" (or rather lack thereof) allows for the existence or nonexistence of God. The atheist belief system (note that it is not in quotes) does not. Since one cannot "know" if God exists or not, it follows that your definitions must be erroneous.

God doesn't believe in atheist but He still loves them and INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX too.No. An atheist lacks the belief in the existence of god. However, atheists tends to be rational, so they often point out the fact that there are no evidence of any god's existence. Hence, they often believe there is no god. But still - atheism isn't the belief that something doesn't exist. It's the lack of belief that something exists. It does require a bit of thinking to understand. Please don't strain your brain.

It doesn't apply to Frenchmen either, but that hasn't stopped me from financially neutering the despicable blob of humanity that I'm renting my apartment from. So rather than debating here, I've been occupied teaching him why it's not a good idea to screw with me. Tonight, however, has brought some good news - I've just cost him many thousands of Euros. I'm having a beer in light of it. He's probably having a crying session. Unfortunately for him that's just round 1. I'm not anywhere near finished with him. In some circles they call it "being taken to the cleaners".

In the opinion of Joergen, what would be evidence of God's existence, or any other god?
Joergen Sigvardsson wrote:

So considering that evidence that God does or does not exist is irrelevant. An atheist choses to say that they have no belief in the existence or nonexistence of God. Because if God exist then there is a Hell and they realize that they should live accordingly to avoid Hell and the if God doesn't exist then their life is meaningless and everyone and everything they have ever loved was pointless and that they in all honestly do desire the existence of God.
