Atheist: “one who believes that there is no deity”
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/atheist

Agnostic:: “a person who holds the view that any ultimate reality (as God) is unknown and probably unknowable”
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/agnostic

..and it fits his statement’s perfectly
I do not believe that there is any type of god in existence; thus, I am an atheist.
I do believe that it is possible to prove that a god does exist, if it does; therefore, I am not agnostic.

I believe that you may being confusing a generic god with the Jedeo-Christian god. That god is easily disprove through conflicting qualities.

Thank you.

That was a terrible response.
“…but you are wrong that I do not believe in the possibility of a God…”
- That is the very definition of agnostic.

Not to say I don’t find the aethiest extremity hilarious and for the most part, useful to refer to when trying to ‘smack some sense’ into idiots that get carried away with how great their god(s) are.

Oh well. It’s all in good fun (I hope; massive countrywide and worldwide wars lasting years have started over this kind of crap).

As an atheist you believe there is no God. You claim to be an atheist, yet you admit to the possibility of the existence of a God. This makes you agnostic. If you accept that you cannot answer this question you are agnostic.
