If that is the case, you're not an atheist, you're agnostic, just like me. Agnostic literally means "without knowledge." So really we're talking about the same thing; you're just using a different label for yourself which really doesn't fit your belief system. Atheists reject god entirely, but you just said you don't have a basis to decide whether to reject or accept god, so you're agnostic, not atheist. Definitely no need to get offended when someone states an opinion about atheism in that case. -Justin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
