Shlimazel said he's an atheist, and doesn't believe in shrimp. Atheists say that there is no God. Agnostics say there may or may not be a God, but we can't really know. Thus, an agnostic does not believe in God since he is not sure He exists. So, while Shlimazel's definition of an atheist could be rightly applied to an atheist, it could also be applied to an agnostic. When Shlimazel said, "I don't believe in shrimp", I associated the "doesn't believe in" characteristic with agnosticism before atheism, and....
Forget it, I'll go right to the illustration type thingy or whatever it is:
Shlimazel: I'm an atheist. I don't believe in shrimp ("don't believe in" = agnostic)
Songemot: I'm agnostic. There is no shrimp ("there is no" = atheist)
So yes, if posting something you didn't get is messing up, then I did mess up.
