an agnostic neither denies nor accepts the existence of a god. it's not the blind faith of all religions nor is it the blind ignorance of atheism. it's a happy human medium of "unknowing". so yes, an agnostic is in fact one without knowledge. that doesn't make them an idiot, it just makes them a realistic human being.

I mean, I can sort of see where you're going with this, except that to get to a point where one can see "I neither deny nor accept the existence of god, a god, a supreme being" means that person must have done some sort of research from both angles that does not allow them to fully align with either side.

But the word gnosis isn't so exact. Gnosis is "spiritual" knowledge, and is more of an active process than just some definition of one's facts, beliefs, or dogmatic princple. It really defines a person by what they have found in their own life to be self-evident and true.

I just hate the term, because it was created in a derogatory sense to belittle the ideas and views of people that did not fit into an existing dogmatic code.

Craigy, if you wanna come by the house, I'll pick up some beer and we can chill?
