Default an agnostic dictionary

A late Christmas present?
how about a dictionary for some of the tough words we use? (a la 'definition of an agnostic')
the dictionary I think should be administered by the moderators but the rest of us can help....

I realize the moderators may have lives? But.....
thanks

I think that's a good Idea, and I would help make it. What type of words should we encompass. <---me being a smarta$$ lol.

An Agnostic dictionary sounds like a good idea, but I don't think the words we use are too different from any other philosophers. I would say, make it a FAQ instead of a dictionary. For example:
  • "What does 'Agnostic' mean?"
  • "Isn't Agnosticism the same as Athiesm."
  • "What does an agnostic think about God?"
  • "What does an agnostic think about Science?"
  • "Were there any great philosophers who were agnostic?"
  • "If I become agnostic, won't I go to hell?"

[*]"What does 'Agnostic' mean?"George has a 'What is an agnostic' already.
[*]"Isn't Agnosticism the same as Atheism."This one maybe difficult as in some religions I consider myself to be an atheist and others I am not.
[*]"What does an agnostic think about God?"Which God?
[*]"What does an agnostic think about Science?"Depends on who you ask, probably.
[*]"Were there any great philosophers who were agnostic?"This I like alot!
[*]"If I become agnostic, won't I go to hell?"Probably
