A higher force
#52
RE: A higher force
Sure, intellectual honesty means being aware that you can't be certain of anything. I've never heard even a gnostic atheist claim that there is no possibility they can be wrong. (Probably there are some out there, I guess.) That level of professed infalibility seems to belong to the theists. But not all theists of course. We have some very nice ones on here with the integrity to admit they could be wrong. And plenty who would say no such thing!

If we use gnostic to be the relaxed use of the word "know" then I'd call myself a gnostic (regarding story book gods at least).

Regarding Kevin, the guy running this simulation or unwittingly creating this universe as a byproduct of his own brain, I have no idea if he exists or not.
