re: #60 Achilles Tang

I’m guessing that was my comment you reference, about too smart to be agnostic.

No disrespect meant, but I don’t think you have spent much time thinking about the god concept. If you did, and I am sure you are smart enough to do so, you would either come to a comprehension stop that you can’t or don’t want to go past and call yourself a believer or, if you continue, an atheist.

I called myself an agnostic once when I was young.

You just did it again… saying I’m only smart enough if I agree with your premise. You also assume I don’t spend enough time thinking about the god concept because I don’t agree with you.

I’m not arrogant enough to assume that just because it seems that Scientologist (or any ist or ian) beliefs are nuts that they couldn’t also be completely true. What the fuck do I know? I’m wrong all the time.

You can accept that or not but it’s my reality. Faith, belief and certainty are concepts I try to avoid.
