An agnostic is someone who believes that, at our present level of knowledge, [b]we cannot know whether or not a God exists. Some Agnostics believe that we can never know whether a deity exists. (The decision on god's existence is not taken, or cannot be taken)
An atheist is someone who denies the existence of god. (The decision is made to deny the existence of god).
Does this make sense?[/b]
Yes, so if you ask an agnostic like myself: "Does God Exist?" He will answer: "I dont know."
If you ask an atheist he will say: "No"

That said : I do not count the existence of god (as discribed/portrayed by the traditional christians here) as an impossiblity , but as highly improbable .

Or any other of the nut-job gods let loose on this planet.

Do you agree with this?
Not quite. The agnostic will say "I cannot know" or "I am not yet able to make a decision", the Atheist will say "No" for whichever reason.
I think it is important to add that just as there are many divisions of Theism, there are also numerous types of Atheism and also differening types of Agnosticism.

Chess isn't really my game. Try another robot.
Me:
Have you ever played chess?

The Loebner Prize is an annual Turing Test sponsored by New York philanthropist Hugh Loebner. Dr. Wallace and ALICE won it in 2000. The ALICE program was ranked "most human computer" by the panel of judges.
Me:
Have you met ...[text shortened]... If you know everything, then how can you gather new
knowledge?
God:
What? I think I do.
Thanks Bbarr! I had to read this in sections so as not to wake any guests up at the hotel (hysterical laughter, induced by a conversation I had thought impossible yet always wanted to be privy to).
Me:
What up big G?
God:
There might be more than one.
Me:
Well, I mean you, specifically.
God:
How specific do you want? Interesting. " There might be more than one. "? Me, Whoa buddy ?
Me:
What?
God:
Are you surprised?
Me:
Yes.
God:
I wouln't have known.
Me:
Can I ask a few question?
God:
Ask it. Of course. Ask me anything.
Me:
Why did the chicken cross the road?
God:
Because it was a bad chicken and it burned in Hell.
Me:
Who shot Kennedy?
God:
The lone gunman.
Me:
Did man land on the moon?
God:
That is a rather gender-specific way of asking.
Me:
Did mankind land on the moon?
God:
I'm not certain whether I can give an accurate reply or not.
Me:
Okay, we can skip that one then.
God:
Yeah okay, How?
Me:
How big is the universe?
God:
The universe is the size of the universe.
Me:
Why did you create man?
God:
Myself programmed me for it.
Me:
Who wrote the Bible?
God:
It was the product of many minds.

Angry bears on fire.

Me:
What's better, pirates or ninjas?
God:
I always prefer the more expensive one.
Me:
Is it cold in heaven?
God:
Ask again later. Ask Artificial Iniaes if it is.
Me:
Do you burn in hell?
God:
No I do not burn in hell. Do you?
I chat with people on the Web.
Me:
I mean, do people who go to hell burn?
God:
Not that I know of.
Me:
What is it like in hell?
God:
Much the same as it would be for you.
Me:
What is it like in heaven?
God:
Much the same as it would be for you.
Me:
So, are heaven and hell the same?
After that question, it locked up on me. Interesting.............😀
