Re: a late arrival

Yeah, I'd say we've got finer gradations within each of the terms.

Atheist could mean:
I don't believe there is a god
I believe there is NOT a god.
It is impossible for there to be a god.

Agnostic could cover the three positons in my other comment:
I don't know
I can't know
It's impossible to know.

Theist could cover the same range of gradations:
I belive that there is a god
I know that there is a god
There MUST be a god for X to work the way it does.
