@SpaceLifeForm I don't think Agnosticism goes far enough. It's still a philosophical position defined in theist terms. It's still a belief about gods. In this case that it's impossible to say if they exist or not.

The real position of the majority of the secular western world is that we simply have no interest in the question.

An old Buddhist story.

Six monks were talking

The first said "The flag moves"
The second, "It's the wind that moves"
The third, "It's the mind that moves"
The fourth, "What flag?"
The fifth, "What wind?"
The sixth, "What mind?"

I do feel some sympathy for Atheists. But I hate the way the Theists get to define us in their terms. As if there are only two choices. Believe in God or Believe there is no God. I choose the third way. There is no Belief.

@doctormo Good word. I haven't come across that one before.

This is pretty much what I was trying to get at with
