<p>Golddustwoman, someone on CC once explained agnosticism in a great way and I'll share that with you right now. I'm really sorry to whoever explained it this way for "taking it from you" or whatever. Make your prescence known if you see this.</p>
<p>Here we go.
Say there's a school test. An essay question is "Does God exist?" A theist would write down their answer and, if it was wrong, get mad that they got a 0. An atheist would write down their answer and, if it was wrong, get mad that they got a 0. An agnostic would write down "I don't know" or just keep the paper blank and accept that they got a 0.
An agnostic declares ignorance though this does not always mean that they are ignorant (though I'm sure some are). Get what I'm sayin?</p>
