The term "Weak Atheist" is basically synonymous with "agnostic". Contrary to prior belief, agnostics ARE atheists because they lack a belief in God. While they may not claim that there is no God, they make no judgment on the matter, and thus preserve a perfect lack of belief, meaning they are "without theism", which is basically what the root "a-theism" means. Someone doesn't have to BELIEVE there is no God to be an atheist, in other words. They need only LACK any belief on the subject of God. Weak atheists usually feel that God's existence cannot be proven or disproven, and thus decide that it is futile to pursue any understanding of God. Their belief is founded on the fact that God cannot be known to exist. Their beliefs are usually rather intelligent and thought-out. Of course, they tend to give the benefit of the doubt to theists, which is upsetting considering how little of a benefit theists should really get from a real, intellectually discriminating form of doubt. Oh well. |

Who says that agnostics can't believe in God? Just because you don't believe His existence can be proven or disproven, doesn't mean you don't have faith in Him. (For those who don't know, btw, I currently hold no faith in God, but I hope to eventually.)
Bought a bunch of German materials today: Mastering the Basics: German, 501 German Verbs, and Mastering German. I also bought Princess in Training and re-bought the April '05 volume of Animerica, since I lost the one I bought yesterday in either Barnes and Noble or Suncoast, both of which carry the magazine, so if they hadn't already found it and put it "back on the shelf", I would have had no way of proving it was my own copy. Doh!
Finally, I bought 2 oz. of Chinese honey dew white tea (for special occasions only) and a CD case for the DVDs of anime I'm having to burn for lack of space on the computer.
I really need to get Mastering Japanese back from Sergei...
Blah... Too much to do.
