    Whether or not you imagine some invisible sky pixie is moot. Why label yourself.

    an agnostic is a theist without belief.

    no, an agnostic is simply someone who says he does not know if there is
    a God (or God exists). an atheist is someone who has a belief that God
    does not exist, or does not not have a belief that God exists. the
    former relates to knowledge, the later to belief. _Bart Ehrman_
    describes himself as an agnostic atheist.

    that's very binary thinking, i am non-binary. i feel this whole
    universe and god and nature of existence lies on a spectrum.

    for example, lets consider a 180 degree plane, at 180 we have
    theism, at 0 we have atheism and at 90 we have agnosticism.

    i am near 90 degrees.. but like 80 degrees actually.
