		<description><![CDATA[Hmmm,I&#039;m a 21 year old Christian. Recently and not too long ago I&#039;ve come across more and more of these &quot;agnostic atheists&quot; on this chat-room I go to. 
By experience it has lead me to formulate my own recognition of these people, when I see them I say &quot;they&#039;re using the neutral defense,&quot; Because, well lets start from the beginning, there are few types of atheism i know of, weak,medium and strong, strong is a very annoying type because these kinds of people will do nothing but speak their opinion and bash everyone else&#039;s, anyway, the neutral defense starts out a strong atheist, and eventually dwindles down to weak depending on the person talking to them, and once every other attack and defense fails them, they presume to call themselves agnostic, which by my own experience and as I have explained is the kind of defense that atheists I&#039;ve seen like to use in order to drag themselves out of a convo or debate (tucking their tail between their legs), but the funny thing about what happens next, eventually could be 10 mins, could be a few days, but these people almost always come back with a vengeance, as if the person who drove them into falling back had done something horrible to them.

Anyway &#039;d like to make something very clear, we christians like to talk to other groups and nonbelievers about christianity and how it is the truth, and we may be gentle or harsh, and that is because we care, we care about where you and others will spend their eternity, it means nothing if you don&#039;t believe in an afterlife, I could believe I wont be inured if I step in front of a speeding garbage truck, doesn&#039;t mean I wont be horribly injured or killed. But of course not I or anyone else can change your mind, only you can choose to be saved.]]></description>
