A quote for agnostics
#5
RE: A quote for agnostics


Quote:"If you're not willing to pretend that matters of god can be certain, you're an atheist, and just say that, you fucking pussy."
-- Pen Jillette


Bollocks

By definition,an agnostic can be an an a-theist or a theist.


The terms have very different meanings. Atheism is about lack of BELIEF ,agnosticism is about lack of KNOWLEDGE.


----and Penn Jillette is an ignorant autodidact with a chip on his shoulder.

They just want to be different.


Bollocks.

An agnostic does not necessarily say he does not believe, he may say only that he does not know.

The agnostic may believe in a god,but also believe that god is unknowable.That position has been common among mystics for centuries.
