Thread:User talk:WaitingforGodot/"No such thing as atheists."/reply (12)

The problem with "agnostic" or "lack of belief" is that I take the position of strong atheism (8 on the Dawkins scale, that weak-kneed pansy) toward any logically contradictory, and thus by definition, non-existent, gods, much like I don't believe square circles exist. (But can god microwave a burrito so hot that he can't eat it? Hurr!) Once you get into deism, or Harvard Divinity School stuff like process theology or philosophical tomfoolery like Last Thursdayism, then I can't "deny" god(s), which would make "agnosticism"/"lack of belief" more accurate in those cases. And 99.9% of people are going to say "WTF is that?" if you call yourself an ignostic, though "you haven't even agreed on what you're discussing" is a pretty apt description of my position on any pseudo-problem/pseudo-question, including "do you believe in god?"
