I've already expressed my disdain for philosophy in this thread, such as it's extremely limited by individual definitions, and commonly subject to twisting of words, of which you're employing here. My views of agnosticism are not intended to be legitimate or sound thought in the arena of philosophy, as I don't go in there to begin with. Unlike yourself, I accept limits to what we humans can understand about the Universe.
And for the record, humans are animals, often irrational, and have one foot firmly planted in the jungle - in spite of what the human-centric faiths teach. It's exactly this level hubris which leads me to believe religion has more ill effects than positive, especially when delivered in ironic fashion from a servant of the humble Christ. |
Well then...I think we have exhausted this line of discussion since you have admitted that your agnosticism is not grounded in rational or sound thought. Quite pointless to go on. Perhaps I can find an educated monkey with whom to have an intelligent conversation, since you have put yourself on the same level of all monkeys. (I categorically reject your inane opinion that we're all on that same level with you.)
But for the record...I do agree with you that we are often irrational -- but not for the reasons you have given. What can make us irrational is our sinful nature.
