OK, looking at the definitions of each, I don't actually fall into the category of being an Atheist, agnost or skeptic, since although I reason that god does not exist, I cannot discount him entirely because, ultimately, I can't prove that he doesn't.
All I can prove is that his teachings are perhaps in need of a tweek, and that there are certain impossibilities within exodus which the bible falls flat on.
Equally, for fortean events (ghosts, paranormal activity etc) which have no scientific explanation, you have to deduce that there is another force at work that we don't know about (be it a scientific force or a spiritual one).
The fact that we don't know which one of the two it is means we can't discount the other.
In the same way, I can't disprove heaven and hell either way, so how do I claim they do or don't exist? I can't.
So, to that end, what am I?
