My God can do things they are in the Bible you just mentioned a quote yourself so you must think the Bible is real or you woundn't use it as evidence for your arguement I believe the Bible is real. I've held quite a few of them in my hands. I don't, however, feel it gives a very accurate portrayal of reality most of the time.

You know that that tautologically can't happen, right? If I define leprechauns in a way that is sufficiently vague as to leave them nonfalsifiable, I, too could claim to believe in them until proven wrong. It doesn't mean it's a good idea.
To answer the question of how do we know we are not brainwashed, the truthful answer is quite simple. The main characteristic of brainwashing is dogmatic belief, which is antithetical to the stated beliefs of any agnostic atheist as any agnostic must first admit I don't know.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. |
