Oh and I meant to ask if you intended to spell out what a "reformed protestant" is in the sense you're using the words.
I would consider myself fairly confident in my beliefs, and I do try to research others claims (as well as my own) to see if they have a solid foundation. So while it is difficult to gauge your agnosticism, I don't think that I would describe myself that way in regards to theology. However I do consider myself skeptical, and do think that when doubting a claim, that agnosticism is the correct position. I also believe that we can hold evidence in tension, while still be skeptical.
I haven't started any posts yet, but was thinking about a discussion about the mix I have seen between modern and post modern philosophy. I have seen it used by Christians and atheist, an inconsistency, between beliefs that they wish to hold and those they want to oppose. When they want to oppose something, they become very modernist, demanding extraordinary proof. Then on the other hand, when in a corner, they pull out the post modernist view, and claim that nothing can really be known. There is a mixture of the two that must be held. Both philosophies are harmful to discovering truths in their extremes. But is the inconsistency, that I find to be rather slippery in discussion.
