Introduction

[Whateverist]

I've already responded in one other of your threads in a less than sympathetic manner. Here I would like to extend a sincere hand in greeting and wish you better times here.

Like you I find the hard question as intriguing as it is elusive .. but that doesn't prevent me from thinking and theorizing about it.

Also, I would say that my agnosticism is more primary to my point of view than my atheism. I don't see agnosticism as diminishing my atheism. In fact, if I were a theist I would still be equally agnostic. When it comes to judging others, I put more stock in their agnosticism than their theism or lack there of. Agnostics want the truth on its own terms and as they find it; we're not looking for confirmation in either direction, but will accept what comes. Most atheists here are also agnostic. But there are also a good number who are latter day logical positivists, they assume too much and see no reason to delay the celebration of certainty. This has led to the misconception that atheism is a 'religion'. I think you can see the difference though.

Welcome and I hope your skin will grow sufficiently tough without diminishing your sense of touch.
