Why is it considered so unreasonable to be Agnostic?

[RageBeoulve]

Actually I was just asking about that attitude, really.

[Genesis]

Its not unreasonable....

Sometimes I feel like I am on the same boat, because honestly I don't know if there is a intelligent designer that listens to my thoughts and sees my everyone move.

Honestly I don't.

I grew up in a religious household, yet I still question it.

Mom always says don't look at it as a religion, yet more of a relationship with God.

Anyway, the reason this amuses me can be explained like this. Imagine its the first time you checked out the "ancient aliens" series, and you hear all these neato theories and shit, and its entertaining you. All of the sudden the screen cuts to Giorgio, and he presents some bullshit piece of evidence like some cave paintings that look like humans, then he claims they're aliens, and makes that smug face like he's privy to some huge secret nobody else knows about, and he's some kind of a brilliant scientist. Doesn't that make you either laugh heartily, or feel like knocking his head off, depending on your mood?

You could use that smug smile of his to make me do assasinations. It enfuriates me that much.

Indeed. That's what this kind of stuff looks like to me. I mostly just think its funny, though.

Deists still believe a magical thingy used some magic to spark a magical big bang.

No they do not.

The god of the Deists could very well be an alien super scientist from another dimension.

Since deists make no claim other than a universe creator, no supernatural magic needs to be invoked.

Except a deity triggering the beginning of creation would be considered a supernatural move.

No, simply a science that we do not yet understand.

The exact moment that god can be known then we are no longer dealing with god.  We are dealing with our peer.

Ahh so bullshit is fine for people's "feels".

  If one's personal feels can't be bullshit, what can?     Anyway, I see the point ZEGH is making.

  Interesting comment, but I know a lot of mere mortals, and I don't necessarily consider myself their peer.

all mortals poop.  They are no different in that regard.  Poop is what unites us.  God is poop.
