The difference between an atheist, an agnostic, an ignostic and an apatheist :
An atheist would say, 'I know God does not exist'; an agnostic would say, 'I don't know if God exists'; and an ignostic would say, 'Because people can't agree on the definition of God, therefore it is totally meaningless to debate whether or not God exists'; and an apatheist would say, 'Whether or not God exists, I don't give a damn.'
