Are you absolutely certain that prince philip was not a god? Or would you say that there's at least some possibility that the cargo cultists got that one right? Gnostic atheism isn't any more incomprehensible than that. In fact..and as many nutballs complain on these boards and elsewhere, alot of people who say that they're -not- a so called category 7, or a gnostic atheist, very much present themselves as one in their thoughts and comments on the subject.
I consider the aversion an effect of cultural contamination in the atheist demographic. That they're not ready to say what they genuinely do believe, for reasons not at all related to belief or rational argument - but for habituation in the great shrinking gods secular negotiation. Personally, I'm comfortable with gnostic atheism, as it's not an issue of what I don't know or can't prove, but what I do and can. The idea that there may be something somewhere that I don't know about is irrelevant to the subject (or object) of stories of human beings here on earth about gods that act on earth.
Not that it matters..since nuts complain about gnostic atheists, to agnostic atheists, and ignore gnostic atheists even when they're in the room..as I mention every time it comes up.
