Talk:Weak atheism

Not good enough yet

The present version of the article blurs the distinction between the atheist and agnostic positions. So I'm moving it to a subpage for repairs. --Ed Poor ^Talk 21:05, 22 August 2007 (EDT)

I distinguished from agnosticism in the intro ... not sure what else you're looking for ... could you let me know where the blurring is? Ungtss 09:35, 23 August 2007 (EDT)

Needs a crystal clear definition. For one thing, does the agnostic positively say no God exists, or that it's not possible to know whether God exists, or simply that he himself is undecided about whether God exists?

Please answer here, instead of merely telling me there is no problem. I don't move things around for no reason. --Ed Poor ^Talk 18:44, 28 August 2007 (EDT)

As I understand it, the agnostic says he doesn't know whether there's a God or not for lack of adequate evidence either way, while the weak atheist says he disbelieves in God, for lack of adequate evidence. Ungtss 19:56, 28 August 2007 (EDT)

You seem to be saying something like this:

Analysis	Conclusion	Position
can't tell whether there's a God or not	I dunno	Agnostic
can't tell whether there's a God or not	There is no God	Atheist or weak atheism
proof that there's no God	There is no God	strong atheism

Does this table sum up your thinking and/or definitions? --Ed Poor ^Talk 23:29, 28 August 2007 (EDT)
