I know right! Knowledge is silly!

Ignorance is where it's at. ATHEISM FTW!

Yeah...because not believing god claims at face value makes one irrational.

It's also not a way to determine existential claims like Swordy is trying to say it is, in fairness.

You can't teach someone who is proud of his ignorance.

I concur, but others that subscribe to a different epistemology would disagree. Regardless, that doesn't make philosophy as whole useless, especially given that science rests upon philosophical premises.

I was being kind of silly, though it leaves a bad taste in my mouth when philosophy is put forth as a means to knowledge on the same level as science. Also, every time you say the word 'epistemology', a jstrodel gets his wings.

I was not being silly about theology, though. Theology is one of the least useful enterprises humans have ever invented.

Hey, I wouldn't have taken all those philosophy courses in high school and uni if I felt it was useless. Big Grin
