God of the Paradox Take 2

Why does anyone want to worship that crazy old coot's god? It seems like everyone has forgotten the god of the Garden of Eden and Noah's nutty god that almost killed everything.

 

Your question is not capable of being answered by me because it relates to someone which I am not familiar with. "..that crazy old coot..." ????? Who is the 'crazy old coot'? Do you have certified documentation from a reputable psychologist which declares that person to be a 'crazy old coot'? "It seems like..." You are not certain about what you are saying?

 

That is correct! If you had read the remainder of what I stated, then perhaps your confusion would have been settled.
"...but I think I recall reading something that you might have posted about you being in California... so I just decided to throw in that information to give you the heads up on the SF library."

 

Inc dodged another one? Shocking.

 

Dodged what? An incoherent statement? Grow up Durandal.

 

Your question is not capable of being answered by me because ...

 

Because ????

"[from Latin ignōrāre not to know, from ignārus ignorant of, from i- in-1 + gnārus knowing; related to Latin noscere to know]"

Your declaration says a lot about you.

 

The crazy old coot was Abraham. He was a liar, murdered, thief. He spent his life banging his half-sister. He was an adulterer and an abuser. He treated his kids like dirt. He sexually mutilated them. He kicked one and the child's mother out into the desert to die. He tried to kill another one by gutting him like a lamb and would have roasted him like one. He was a despicable excuse for a human.

 

And you have verifiable as well as irrefutable evidence to serve as PROOF of all those accusations?

 

I heard the latin term for agnostic was ignoramous.......is that correct?

 

The word history of 'agnostic' reveals the following:
"ag·nosti·cal·ly adv.
Word History: An agnostic does not deny the existence of God and heaven but holds that one cannot know for certain whether or not they exist. The term agnostic was fittingly coined by the 19th-century British scientist Thomas H. Huxley, who believed that only material phenomena were objects of exact knowledge. He made up the word from the prefix a-, meaning "without, not," as in amoral, and the noun Gnostic. Gnostic is related to the Greek word gnsis, "knowledge," which was used by early Christian writers to mean "higher, esoteric knowledge of spiritual things"; hence, Gnostic referred to those with such knowledge. In coining the term agnostic, Huxley was considering as "Gnostics" a group of his fellow intellectuals"ists," as he called them who had eagerly embraced various doctrines or theories that explained the world to their satisfaction. Because he was a "man without a rag of a label to cover himself with," Huxley coined the term agnostic for himself, its first published use being in 1870.

While the legal dictionary provides the following:
"IGNORAMUS, practice. We are ignorant. This word, which in law means we are uninformed, is written on a bill by a grand jury, when they find that there is not sufficient evidence to authorize their finding it a true bill. Sometimes, instead of using this word, the grand jury endorse on the bill, "Not found." 4 Bl. Com. 305. Vide Grand Jury.

Because of the loose and abstract manner in which the word 'agnostic' was formulated (though fittingly IMHO) giving rise to the notion of 'lacking sufficient knowledge' and the legal definition of the term 'ignoramous', it can be construed as you have described, however, I would venture to guess that one who attempts to make such a conclusion would also invoke the wrath and scorn of those to whom the conclusion was drawn against.

 

You're playing with fire here, because when the first Christian's head explodes trying to think about your questions, you might be charged with manslaughter.

 

Not likely to happen, because most Christians on this forum see the questions are nothing more than flame bait and assaults on a religion that is not the same as the Atheist religion. Your child like note of caution is really very funny.. perhaps some day when you grow up, you can be a stand-up comic.
