Liz, you missed my words about 'atheist' and 'agnostic'. Fighting AGAINST something reqires SOME concept of the enemy, so an atheist 'requires' SOME concept of 'a' (any) god as a target. - MY - agnostic, however, does not find any such 'target' reasonble so the totality has to be built on some different basis. Who knows on what kind of? I call it an infinite complexity, not on arithmetical basis as Bruno advised, since arithmetic ways of thinking are HUMAN logic and the totality is much much wider than what such restrictive boundaries would allow. Since 'a' god does not fit into my agnosticism, no bible could have been written by it. Scripture etc. is a nice remnant of times when people had too much time on their hand and a fantasy-world with very few restrictive items. Then power usurped the general belief of the public and exploited it. We are still living within such.
Please add to every one of my sentences in ( - ) "I dunno". JM On Wed, Jul 9, 2014 at 7:27 PM, LizR <[email protected]> wrote: > It sounds like you are describing an agnostic.
