I think this poll blew up in this guys face.
I think your post just blew up in yours. 
no...
Hint: agnostic is an incorrect answer. The correct answer (which I can say freely; people will continue to vote for the wrong answer) is atheist.
you said that he "doesn't know if there is a god or not". now, if you were to say that "bob doesn't believe there is a god whatsoever" that would make him an atheist. if he is unsure, that means that part of him believes there is, and another part of him doubts there is a god. thus making him an agnostic. shut the fuck up.

Everyone who has posted is wrong. Good job to the four (as of now) who know what is up. Another rant expressed by poll: even after I state this, people will continue to vote agnostic.
At the very simplest definition he would be very much agnostic. A shame you feel semantics somehow makes all of LW ignorant.
If by "very simple" you mean "incorrect." I don't think that this is an issue of semantics, but of ignorance. Semantics implies a sophist attempt to escape truth through language ("I'm not angry, I'm upset"). What I'm seeking is something else enitrely. That being said, I do certainly see your point.
Kudos to iinsurgent who pretty much never lets me down on anything.

You didn't give enough information. You can be uncertain but still have faith. You need to be uncertain to have faith.

Do you want to throw insults around or be civil? This is an honest question--I'd be happy to have a civilized discussion of terms, and I'd be just as happy to flame, so I'll leave that call to you. I'll keep this post civil and, should you decide that we should hurl insults at eachother over the interweb, my future responses will be full of swears and implications that you have a wildly sub-standard IQ, ect. We don't know if Bob is an agnostic. Agnosticism refers not to whether or not there is a god, but to wether or not we can have absolute knowledge of a god or not. Bob can believe that absolute knowledge is possible but he doesn't have it, meaning that he is not agnostic even though he doesn't know. Atheism refers to a lack of belief. This can be an active disbelief, such as your example of Bob not believing in god, or it can be a passive lack of belief. If you don't know whether or not there is a god, you are an atheist, because you do not have a belief in god. All agnostics are either atheists or theists.
