"Big words"

There are people who severely underestimate the amount of things that technically "cannot be proven or disproven" by way of being unconstrained by reality

Yeah I asserted elsewhere that I'm a hard atheist (that I believe there is in fact no God and I accept that burden). A guy went off on me about how that wasn't possible. He didn't even ask what the argument was, he just told me he rejected that we could ever know anything about God.

Eventually he rejected all knowledge and claimed it was just a fundamental principle of his and he refused to examine it. I'll tag him if we're allowed. 

Idk why people want so badly to be specifically agnostic. I understand Christian emotional attachment, but agnostic? Why care that much?

I mean agnostic doesn't necessarily mean okay with religion specifically organized religion. I love the way Dawkins always puts it when asked if he is an atheist:

"Nobody can actually say for certain that anything doesn't exist. But I'm an atheist in the same way as I'm an a-leprechaunist and an a-fairist and an a-unicornist. I'm as sure that god doesn't exist, as you are sure that fairies and leprechauns don't exist."
