Are atheists being more illogical than agnostics?

I know that you are not a giant pink frog.

There's the story of the Indian mystic who belonged to a cult that believes everything is just an illusion.

One day an elephant ran amok down the street so he dodged and took cover like everybody else.

Afterwards people jokingly said to him- "If you believe the elephant was just an illusion, why did you run and hide from it?"

Anybody wanna have a crack at guessing what he replied?..

yes i feel that i 'know' this, even though that seemingly goes against my assertion.

It doesn't seemingly go against it...IT GOES AGAINST IT. In fact, it is a direct contradiction of what you are asserting.

however, that is my point exactly, that all knowledge appears this way (as true knowledge), but when investigated, is revealed to only be a belief or assumption.

That actually is not your point...but I imagine that gibberish sounds good to you, so you use it.

i don't get this? is this somehow the funny part, something about a crack? i dunno. anyway, if you are sincerely asking what he replied, let me take a guess:

CM seems to have his had up his ass for more reasons
than warmth

I will hereafter be agnostic about the easter bunny.

Therefore I am, by stating to be agnostic, seriously entertaining the illogical. Is that what Apisa is doing? I think so.

i wasn't gonna bother responding to you just cos you're such an annoying ****, but this stuff is good to prove my point further.

actually, it is not a direct contradiction, because i only said i 'feel' i know this. then i go on to explain that feeling further:

i see. so when i state my point clearly, and you say 'no, that is not your point', that means you must be right. yep sorry bro. and yes, that gibberish does sound good to me, because it is plain and obvious in every human's experience.

you can look at any knowledge you have, and redefine it as only a belief or assumption.

it is only because you choose to believe that some things are beyond doubt. but doubt always exists, no matter how infinitesimally small. whether the doubt is over giant pink frogs or anything else, the doubt will always remain, and eternally prove my point.

ps. if you are unable to find doubt in certain 'facts' like the definite 'fact' of a screen in front of you, then you are simply not looking hard enough, or understanding the science of the universe well enough. if you can accept that an infinitesimal doubt exists for everything, (heisenberg's uncertainty principle proves this), then it follows that knowledge is not possible.

but of course, at the limited level where you love your knowledge and your certainty of your own existence, enjoy yourself! why not right?

Atheism frees one of "gods"

Agnosticism states that it is generally free of "gods" but still retains the possibility of their existence

Therefore, in this topic, agnosticism seriously entertains the existence of the illogical and irrational being(ie a "god").

Therefore, by me announcing my agnosticism over the easter bunny, I am seriously entertaining the (whatever the statistical improbability is) existence of an easter bunny.

The "illogical and irrational" is an almost laughably self-serving, gratuitous utterance.

Youre still flappin out of the ole butt crack eh Frank? When you cant make an argument, why not try pure insult. Ats ok, New Jersyites get a pass for their lack of politeness by virtue of their toxic environment

As you've repeated your position ad nauseum and always without any facts or substance...

, you've always sidestepped the issue of "evidence for' by merely saying thatyour opponents have no evidence "against".

That's the beauty of atheism, I need no proof in my analyses...

, you, however, retain a possibility of existence of an irrational being (based on myth, cultural claims nd "Sacred writings"), yet you, nor the other one who merely posts quotes from the Bible , have anything of a foundational nature to even propose your minimal belief(holding out a possibility of something IS, indeed a belief, cause it sure aint a supportable theory).

Since the illogical part is , (like sasquatches and easter bunnies) that you can present NO EVIDENCE that supports any possibility of these supposed gods.

So consequently , I call it irrational...

(as a purely quantitative concept that is lacking in your "possibility of gods..."assertion). You just continuously beat the same phrases to death hoping someone will acquiesce from sheer exhaustion .

Frank Apisa said: My position is that I do not know if there are gods or not. THAT IS A FACT. I do not know.

Jesus himself was technically an alien-...

...And he bent the laws of physics to prove he had access to "alien technology"-

There had been "alien" visitors before him ("angels") with similar powers, but he was the main front man.

So you are also agnostic about easter bunnies?

Unicorns?
