My Fellow Specifically Agnostic Atheists
#27
RE: My Fellow Specifically Agnostic Atheists
Adrian, just one question for you to maybe ponder about while in exile from the internet. Do you know absolutely certain that there is no way of obtaining objective knowledge?

If so you are making an absolute claim, like a fundamental agnosticist would do.

But I think your answer will be 'no' to my question, since it is the only answer that is consistent with human infallibility.

Also your phrasing here suggests that to me (underlining by me), though my conclusion would be that the underlined bit rules out the fundamental unknowability I am putting forward:
"I brought up the fundamental unknowability point before, when I spoke about the subjective nature of knowledge, and how there is no known way of obtaining objective knowledge. This is very different from practical knowability, which I agree rests on the fallible nature of humans."

And a merry christmas to you also Angel Cloud (sorry for yet another inappropriate emoticon)
