If something is in principle, by definition, *unknowable*, then it seems to be in principle, by definition, *nonexistent*; is there a term for this thing?

This is why there is no real difference between agnosticism and atheism. If God is really unknowable as the agnostics claim, then he is basically non-existent as atheists claim. But if he has revealed himself in time and space, as most religions claim, then he does exist.

While I do think there's not really a meaningful difference between atheists and agnostics, I also meant something different in my original tweet that I'm realizing now I should explain in more, better words

The difference between agnosticism and atheism is that agnosticism allows for the possibility of the existence of God and atheism does not.

If someone thinks there is "probably" no god, or "very likely" no god, they might identify as atheist.

Wow, I got like 10 replies with 10 different definitions of what agnosticism and atheism really are.
@Aella_Girl, do you have to deal with this with everything you tweet?
Obviously my original tweet was oversimplistic. It wasn’t a treatise on atheism.1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes
