Are you an agnostic atheist or a gnostic atheist?

Agnostic atheists say that is too arrogant to say that there is no God because thats a claim there is no evidence for, much like the claim that there is a God. Gnostic atheism doesnt absolve the atheist of the burden of proof because they ARE making a claim. Agnostic atheism is just a lack of belief in God rather a claim against his existence, in the face of lacking evidence which is a better position to take, because it shifts the burden of proof on the theist.

    I am Agnostic Atheist in regards to the possibility of a God or gods existing.  I simply do not know, nor do I have a reliable way to find the truth of the matter.  In regards to the God of Classical Theology (like most Christians believe in) I am fairly Gnostic Atheist.  That God literally cannot be true for a myriad of reasons.  There is a 99.999999999 ad infinitum percent chance that said God cannot exist.

    The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good. (Psalm 14:1) ....Atheists, by biblical definition, are fools because they deny the existence of their Creator through their ignorance because they do not wish to repent of their sins. Even the dumb cattle knows his owner, but atheists do not know their God, because they are more stupid than cattle.

    I'm a Christian I believe in commication with God through the Holy Spirit and prayer. I honestly ask God what he thought of the experiment of the big bang theory. I casted a lot and it landed on Isaiah 47:10 the it was great sororcries an thy wickness and thy wisdom and knowledge have perverted thee saying that there is none other than thee.( Who hasn't said because of science big bang theory and evolution God doesn't exist) God is giving people a warning of where things are headed Isaiah 29:16 man will contest with his maker saying you did not make me when Christ returns

    If you don't understand the meaning of words don't attempt to make others as stupid as you are.
