To me, the term makes no sense unless you are really quite unsure...... I understand that. That's the way I always used the term before and I know that's how you and most people use it. I don't have any problem with that. There really are a lot of shades of gray, though, between that and a committed atheist. The gray band, of course, always is wider for those who are closest to it. I suspect that when most people think of being unsure, they think in terms of being unsure of the god of the Bible. I have no problem dismissing that, so to them I'd be an atheist. But if you think of god more broadly to encompass some other god concepts, I'm quite the agnostic. It's definitely a confusing term. Brees is talking about a continuum, but I think that would only work with the familiar god of our culture. The continuum would need more than two dimensions to encompass all the possibilities. Karen
