Then one of the following must be true: 1) The story about meeting and talking to God is a crock of shit. 2) You did meet and talk to God but God is just not very bright, after all if we use Bruno's definition of God then God is as dumb as a box of rocks. I realize that for nearly everybody God is astronomically smart, in fact infinitely smart, but if you're desperate to stick the "God" label on something, anything, and are more interested in the English word than the idea behind it then that's what you get. > If you're so certain of your agnosticism [...] > So you're saying that John Mikes shouldn't even be certain that he doesn't know.
