    There is a difference between those that actually hold to a belief, and those that misunderstand it, and then say they do.

    Anarchy is a prime example. The true anarchist is generally very peaceful, and holds the absence of government as their goal. The false anarchist (you know, the guys with black t-shirts with a white or red -A- symbol in them), are the ones that go around beating people up, smashing windows, and tvs, all in the name of anarchy, and "Down with the government. Eat my shorts. WOOOOOO!!!"

    Similarly, the true/core belief of Agnosticism is the belief that it is not possible to reach ultimate knowledge of any kind. Part of that belief is that the whether the divine is in existence is unknowable in this world. They don't say that they just don't know yet, but that it is impossible to know in the first place, due to the nature of reality.

    There is already a huge thread running just like this.

    Damn, we're doing better than I thought. We should start agitating for our own federal holidays and school closures. :D

    Henceforth from this very moment, 12 February is Darwins Day! :)

    Because we believe we are right. Isn't it the same for religious people?
