A Fantasy Explanation of Standard vs. Blind SQL Injection

One of the most commonly held debates between non-believers is that of
whether someone is agnostic or atheist. The problem is that both terms have,
in addition to their various, actual definitions, a number of associations
that go along with them, and this generally injects confusion into the
discussions.

What I wanted to do then was build a simple argument for why most agnostics
should in fact consider themselves atheists. It goes like so:

1. The definition of atheism is someone who does not believe in a God or
   gods.1 [OAD, see below]

2. You don’t believe in God or gods. [Your own claim]

3. Therefore, you are an atheist. [Deduction]

Or, in a simpler form: “If you don’t actively believe in God/gods, then
you’re an atheist.” It doesn’t matter if you’re not sure about them NOT
existing, but if you yourself don’t believe then you’re an atheist according
to this argument.

Keep in mind that this argument, while strictly valid for this definition is
not necessarily sound because there are multiple definitions for
atheist. This makes the argument valid but unsound for other definitions
which give a strong form, such as “The belief that there are no Gods.”

In short, if the definition of atheism entails a lack of belief, most
agnostics are atheists. If it entails a belief in the lack of
God/gods, then they aren’t.

Also, this argument doesn’t account for whether one would want to be
considered an atheist — apart from whether they actually are one — as
that’s something completely separate. ::

Notes

1The Oxford American Dictionary lists as its only definition of atheism, the
“disbelief in the existence of God or gods.” Disbelief is defined by The
Oxford American Dictionary as, “inability or refusal to accept that
something is true or real.”
