Theism vs. Atheism vs. Agnosticism

Did you know that agnostics, atheists, and people born in Missouri have a patron saint? He's Thomas the Apostle. In his own words, "Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe." At that moment, Old Tom was an agnostic.

Frankly, I believe all humans are agnostics, just as Thomas was at that moment, no matter how ardently they deny it. They don't know (in the scientific sense) -- and can't know -- if there is a god or gods. They can only have faith one way or another until proof is provided with objective evidence.
