Quote:(As I stated above) knowing generally what someone is talking about, does not make the claims they are making true.OFC not, but it makes their claim intelligible...defeating ignosticism. If you know what they're talking about...you can't, in good faith, claim not to understand the word..or in light of a specific god....again in good faith, claim that what they are talking about is too ambiguous.
If someone told you that they believed in god, Christ Jesus - you know what they're talking about, even if you don't believe it.
Quote:If that were true, EVERY scientist's claims who ever made claims about a subject they were found to be WRONG on would be as valid as the side which was found to be true.Things can work without being rationally consistent or ideologically coherent. Take belief in gods..for example, lol.
Ignosticism as a position, has many adherents. No one has to accept the Third Grade definitions of the gods, (of all places here ... that's hilarious). Saying it's "utterly defeated" is a delusional as Trump saying he's worth 10 billion dollars. If Ignostocism works for some ... it works.
People get to label themselves however they chose. If testosterone-filled idiots need to turn it into a win-lose, it's nothing but a measure of their personal insecurity.
The above has been a wonderful demonstration of why I consider ignosticism a rhetorical device. Useful, perhaps, but not compelling. That you feel compelled to argue with me about whether or not gods are real or make believe (as though this had anything to do with ignosticism) means that you do know what we're talking about, frankly. Whatever utility it might have in getting believers to fuck right the fuck off is lost on me, since I don't believe in fairy tales anyway. That argument is wasted breath between us. I'm showing you how any intelligible and serviceable definition for a god defeats a different position. Not atheism. Ignosticism.
Follow? At it's very best....ignosticism is only an invitation to evangelism.
