You need to work your wisdom/knowledge difference into a poem or sometihng. Better yet, a lyric.

There once was a man from Nantucket
Who got his head stuck in a Bucket
He was clever and wise
But not very nice
So Everyone said...'Oh......let's just leave him like that'.

Only those become weary of angling who bring nothing to it but the idea of catching fish.

I know I'm a little late to this party, but on the debate of agnostic atheist, I have to agree with Chris.
An agnostic is one who acknowledges the fact that proof of the existence (or non-existence) of a diety cannot be absolute. Therefore, and agnostic atheist is one who acknowledges this, but is inclined to believe that said diety does not exist.
With that being said, I also think that you can be an agnostic theist. This would be one who is inclined to believe in a higher being, but also acknowledges that proof of its existence cannot be known.
I don't remember in which thread Chris said John sounded like an atheist, but I tend to think he sounds more like an agnostic theist.

If Chris is an agnostic atheist - just inclined to think that there is no God, how come he is so adamant in calling the ones who have carried on the search for spirituality delusional.

Well, Jeremy
I say, if you MUST label yourself - be careful what the label says, and what you come to believe about yourself because of that label.
Other people might misake the 'label' for the 'person'!!!
