I know this may sound dumb- its confusing enough to work out the difference between a christain and a catholic..... but what is a agnostic?
Somebody who keeps an open mind as to whether there is a God or not, or someone who believes it is not actually possible to know whether there is a God or not.
It's possible as well to beleive that there is a God, but that the current interpretations of who and what he is are wrong.
For example, I beleive that the Major faiths have recieved no divine revalations. Their scriptures are of men and created for social political & personal gain.
Within this framework I also accept that there is a creating force that is responsible for the origons of the universe.
So I'm agnostic.

The dictionary is a good place to start. Somebody denying God's existence is provable:
somebody who believes that it is impossible to know whether or not God exists
Also, try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnostic
Wikipedia has tons of information about tons of stuff.
But you now have the bases of it. Past that it goes a thousand different ways for thousands of different reasons.

in addition agnostism deals with knowledge. I am an agnostic and an atheists.
How can you be both ranny? you either beleive "No" or "Dont know"?
Can you clarify that a bit please?

You can always further devide: Agnostic theists who believe or tend toward believing that here is a god but are convinced there is no proof. (barney and I) Agnostic atheists who believe or tend toward believing that here is no god but are convinced there is no proof. (ranma1/2)

whoa..... there are variations to the term "agnostic"
How about those who believe in God but refuse to affiliate with any religious groups?

i fall in to this category and yes, there are a lot of variations among agnostics. i think the best definition would be a person who believes that ultimately, there are things that are unknowable.
each man thinks of his own fleas as gazelles
question authority

Do you believe in aliens? (extra-terrestrial creatures)
He and Superman shared the same problem ..... as both of their planets are already destroyed. Plus George W. Bush dont know how to fly his UFO... (well...he's stupid in technical stuffs)
