Some of the people who I've met that call themselves agnostic seem to take
the position that "disbelief is tenetative." They disbelieve in a wide
varety of stuff on the grounds that they haven't seen any proof, but say
they'll change their minds should proof come along.

There's a real difference, I think, between 'disbelief' and 'lack of
belief'. The first is active denial of validity; the second is refusal to
make a judgement either way.

I'd classify myself as agnostic, since I don't believe in spiritual or
supernatural stuff - but that isn't the same as saying I _disbelieve_ in
such stuff. I simply don't have an opinion on it.

Yes General, I am masturbating into the American flag again. It relaxes me.
Do you have a problem with it? Would you rather I used you?
