But I've always thought that attaching percent estimates of certainty to god belief was wrong headed. My agnosticism has nothing to do with relative likelihood and everything to do with interpretation. Something ill defined isn't entitled to a shred of consideration.
But if something is not entitled to a shred of consideration, is that not dismissing it 100%? Sounds like gnosticism to me...
I guess it does. But I make no knowledge claims about the silly beliefs because they neither warrant nor permit any final judgement. Agnostic atheists aren't spending their days or nights fretting over some tiny percent of uncertainty regarding the existence of gods. We're all getting about our lives and contemplating those things which strike us as interesting and worthwhile.
