The above is Stephen Colbert's entire description of Agnostics in his book, I Am America (And So Can You!). Now, when I read the book, I had did not really know much about Agnosticism. However, now that I know more, I understand just how aptly that describses those people. Agnostics say that there is no proof that God or gods exist(s), and no proof that he/they does/do not. Therefore, there might or might not be a God. That is a rediculous concept. How can you have an entire religion based on uncertainty? That's madness! They also don't really believe in reality. So what do they think, then? Do they think that we're all trapped in the Matrix and any minute now, Keanu Reeves will come and rescue us? Cause I'm sorry, but if a bullet-stopping, sunglasses-sporting, trenchcoat-wearing Messiah offers me a pill, I'm calling the cops. Basically, what Colbert is saying, is that these people are atheists that just don't have the courage to stand up and say, "I don't believe in God/gods." Hence, "Atheists without balls."
