(Please point out typos).
why don't we begin with the thread title.
LOL. Yes, I always spell it that way. Like the word "Aswell". It's a childhood trait I can't quite shrug off.
also, 'agnoticism' as opposed to 'agnosticism'
Ugh. Missed that. Typed too fast.
I touch of Bertrand Russell. It's not really a response to him (Why I am Not a Christian), as he simply comes from an 'anti'-theistic proposition to a middle point and you come from an 'anti'-athiestic proposition and come to pretty much the same middle point.
I tend to agree with that, the only genuinely rational position given what we genuinely know about the universe without assumptions (which is practically nothing) is Agnosticism. I can't prove or disprove science. No-one can. With the mental tools we currently have at our disposal. (I really Russell's book btw, even if I disagree with it - every member of the religious right should be read his "nice people" essay.)
Well said. Religion and atheism are two sides of the same coin: Arrogant interpretations of what we are more than likely incapable of understanding.
