Agnostics

[bennyboy]

This isn't a science issue, it's a philosophical one.  I'm using Schrodinger's cat as an example of something that is intrinsically ambiguous, and is not a matter of weight of opinion.  This is what I'm saying about my view on God-- that it is in fact both possible to believe in something and its opposite, exactly equally, conditional on an unknown/unknowable state value.

No, it's not possible, and that statement is ridiculous.

You either believe in a God or you don't. There is no other option here. Well, I suppose being dishonest about it is.

Your rudeness is noted.  Also noted is your misunderstanding of how the brain works in decision-making.  The brain is not a unified agent.  It is a collection of parallel processes, and is perfectly capable of holding contrary beliefs.  Just because I have one mouth, and can only express one idea at a time, doesn't mean that my brain is in 100% alignment on every issue.  In fact, I'd argue it is almost NEVER the case that even when one gives a simple answer, there isn't a lot of complexity and some contradiction going on in the brain.


Trying to railroad all of that into only the answers you want to hear is like asking someone, "Are you going to let me answer the way I want, or are you going to be an asshole?"

Go ahead, answer my question. And only choose one of the options I'm making you take.
