Cambrey: One word carries 2 different meanings.
No that's not true at all, word's always have at the most 1 meaning. And by word's I mean cheeseburgers. And by meanings I mean slices of cheese.
OK, that was just silly.
If we start chucking away the established meanings of words then as has been said, communication will fall to pieces and any chance of a decent debate will just lapse in to one of semantics and that's just dull.
Take your discussion about racism for example, I'll make assumptions as to how that chat went and apply it to a similar debate that has happened over in the UK. Correct me if it doesn't apply.
Over here, down in London the term "paki" short for Pakistani is a very offensive and racist word. As I understand from some of my friends up north, there - not so much. People might say "I'm off to the paki shop to get some crisps" or something. Now, the question as to whether it should be considered racism to use this term is entirely valid, but not once does that question what racism is at its core. Racism is a clearly defined word.
I get the impression that you're arguing about the beliefs/non-beliefs of people that claim to be agnostic whereas Navagon is simply saying "hold on, this is what agnostic means, you may have the wrong end of the stick".
After all, I could claim that I'm a female Nigerian track and field athlete till I'm blue in the face, claiming that we have different understandings of what those words mean. I'd be wrong, I'm a male Jewish fat lazy sod and semantics simply won't help me there.
In response to the OP - I guess technically I'd need to consider myself a weak atheist agnostic as anyone wanting to be even vaguely scientific should. It's very difficult/impossible to prove the absence of something so in that respect one really has to be agnostic about the possibility of a deity, but I always feel that religious folk use that as a reason to say "ahhhh y'see, you don't really know". However, I'm agnostic-atheist about God(s) in much the same way as I'm agnostic about the tooth fairy and unicorns and gorgeous women that want to have sex with me. There's not one shred of evidence to prove they exist and as such I
lack any belief that they do, as opposed to actively having faith that they do not.
