h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Can you clear up what agnostic means for me? I maintain that agnosticism= you believe that there is a God, you just don't know what he's like. Friends maintain that agnosticism= don't know if there is a God or not. Which of us is to triumphantly yell "HA! /Told/ you, but would you listen? Nooo-o. See. Teach you to argue with /me/" or something along those lines? Or is agnosticism neither?

I'm afraid that your friends are right, Roadkill. See A446339 for details.

Well, I won't tell them that .

That probably makes me agnostic then.

What d'you call what I thought agnostic was?

'Theist' is about the closest word I can think of: http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=theist

Someone who just generally believes, rather than in any specific religion. Or someone who mixes and matches, like that religion that begins with B. I can't remember exactly what it's called.

Ba'hai?

That's the one. They have beautiful architecture.

I maintain that post 26 contains truths of all religions, no one or book can explain and mean the same things.

Post 26 is, well, not really about anything, though. Except just generally being religious. Like that wonder- kid.

it means somthing to some people and somthing of that meaning is it's original interpritation

Always (can you see the light?)

Yes! Yes! I can see the light! It's soooooo bright!

Sorry for that outburst of flippancy. What were we talking about?

something, y I think

Went to a philosophy lecture (or lectures, actually) yesterday. All about the philosophy of religion. Very interesting.

yes there is alot of philosophy based on religion, just because it's the most contravsial part of socity, I prefare to study socity in general and why people do certain things.

one of my recent thoughts is that some religous stigmas are based on peoples need and pations, look at anything that would drive you to do extream things and most western religions fordib it. it need more I think and I bet there are some exeptions.

Right, yeah, watch out for those idols. You're worshippeing them before you know it.

idolise, return false;

Ah yes, no, would an idol that is worshiped not be called a worship and not an idol?

-- DoctoRMO --

I'd call it an idol. But I am far from infallible.
