blah. Too much is tied up in needing a consistent definition for "God" that also satisfies the implicit assumptions of the test.

For the first question, I answered "Maybe, I'm still waiting for proof", but then the second question lost me. There's no option for:

"Yes, I just don't know what it is yet".

I'm not wishy-washy, I figure things either exist or don't (I'm defining "to exist" here as "is possessed of the nature that is attributed to it"-- physical, imaginary, intangible but not imaginary, whatever, and assuming that the nature being attributed to God is something other than imaginary), I just don't know which is the case.

I'm guessing that puts me pretty firmly in the agnostic camp nowadays, though I've been told that the term "agnostic" actually refers to something very specific (I don't remember what) and that most who simply say "I don't know" fall more broadly into the category of "weak atheism" (not meant in a derogatory sense). Labels, labels... helpful, but annoying.
