For example say a society believed the wind was made by a god right. There were many folklaws and tales about what riled up the god and made him blow his wind and such. People had no proof he existed but they had faith he was there. Then one day someone was out walking and found it was actually created by a massive animal farting. For all intents and purposes this is the god they previously had faith in. Only now they have proven its existence the animal is not a god anymore. Its just another animal in the world. It is reality just as much as a bird or something.
Im not sure im making myself clear so please call me up on it if im not...

the thing that made me become a full blown atheist was asking myself if i would be agnostic(as in agnostic atheism, no 50/50 bs) for the tooth fairy.....then it seemed like calling myself agnostic was puzzy s.hit.

Absolutely certain there is NO God(s) as described by all the Religion's known to men. Agnostic on the fact that we don't know what's out there in the Universe, therefore holding out.

An absolute agnostic is a person who, after reviewing the physical evidence and philosophical arguments for and against the existence of gods comes to the conclusion that it is equally probable that deities do exist as it is that they do not.
Therefore, in practical reality, an absolute agnostic most likely doesn't exist.
A true agnostic is someone who believes that reality is not defined by your senses. Just because you can not see it does not mean it doesn't exist.
An out-and-out agnostic is someone who knows we have not discovered everything there is to know about life. That our views about life are constantly evolving.
Somewhere in some version of reality I am shagging Emma Watson. The possibilities of life are endless.
