Weak agnosticism would be just saying "I don't know" where strong agnosticism would be those who use philosophical arguments to come to their conclusions.

Yeah that was gr8, made me laff a lot especially about "like a little pregnant?"... It's good to explore the mind and our system of beliefs and non beliefs and also how agnosticism and atheism interact.
For me, all of this sits firmly within the domain

of relative consciousness.
