What is Ignosticism?

[Whateverist]

Ignosticism is a rhetorical device.  Just because different people believe in different types of gods, with different attributes, doesn't mean that the term doesn't sensibly and recognizably signify.

I disagree with Khem here. I find ignosticism incredibly appealing as an epistemological position. To me, it says: "I will not believe in something that has not been clearly defined."

I'd like to hear from the ignostics, though. Is ignosticism merely a rhetorical device to you?

Nope, not just a dodge. "God" is described in ways that make no sense and in such a variety of ways that it is always possible than an innocuous enough usage is in play to which I could assent.

I'm an agnostic. My position wasn't selected for its rhetorical prowess. Rather, it is a definite statement concerning my knowledge of God. But I wanna hear from ignostics on this. What say you?

I don't see the terms as mutually exclusive and I claim both. Just because something is too poorly defined for me to be sure what people are talking about doesn't mean it can't have a meaning that escapes me and under some definition or other, maybe it can exist. Pretty hard to know what you don't know, especially when, based on the various ways different people use the word you can't be sure what the hell they are on about.
