    Oh ok....maybe I didn't expressed myself properly then :) That can happen. :-D ;P And yes, I have one bone to pick with you!!!! It's a shame you haven't written more of those Image Processing articles. It was a great way for me to learn C# as I know and like image processing. Thanks for 'em. :) :)

Yeah, that was what I was getting at. I don't really believe anything and I don't not believe anything - I'd be happy to accept that there is a God, it just doesn't really bother me much one way or another) In my view, an Atheist is someone who makes a firm point to say that they strongly believe that there isn't a God -- Help me!

        I can't accept that because it sounds like I'm somewhere in the middle, as though I regard it just as possible as impossible. The fact is, that I regard it as highly improbable. I could meet somebody tomorrow who firmly believes he has a little green monster sat on his shoulder which is invisible. I couldn't say that I am 100% sure he is wrong, but neither would I shrug my shoulders and accpet his opinion as a serious possibility. The idea of God is just as ludicrous to me as somebody's own personal invisible monster, yet am I an atheist? No I don't think so, but I'd hardly call myself agnostic either unless the dictionary description was one who had no belief one way or the other. I guess I can just about live with that :) "The folly of man is that he dreams of what he can never achieve rather than dream of what he can."

Who cares *what* you are, in terms of what someone says - does it change *who* you are ? If you're an athiest, then you were that before someone attached a label to it for you, so who cares ? phykell wrote: but I'd hardly call myself agnostic either unless the dictionary description was one who had no belief one way or the other.

I'd accept that as a definition of agnostic. OK, I'll accept that I'm probably "agnostic", though as you also implied, the label is just an attachment. I don't feel I'm anything in particular just because I can't believe in God (note my terminology there - I *can't* believe in God).
