From: utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!CAD:tektronix!rich Newsgroups: net.followup Title: athiest/agnostic Article-I.D.: tektronix.910 Posted: Tue Jan 18 11:45:07 1983 Received: Thu Jan 20 07:31:40 1983 Athiest: someone who does not believe in the existance of a supreme being. There is no such creature as an athiest, though many claim to be. Put any one of them in a foxhole and start shelling them and the first words out of their mouthes are: "God help me." The term should be abandoned. Agnostic: The person above with revised definitions. Believes in a supreme being but is not willing to follow any organized religion, go to church, pray or what have you. Then, let us add: Christmas Christian: Persons who believe in God and go to church ONLY at Christmas and Easter. The rest of the year they are agnostic.
