the radical agnostic (2)
April 19, 2010
Radical agnostics have a hard time accepting that the words “believe in God” have any meaning whatsoever.
Is there a God?
believer: Yes.
atheist: No.
agnostic: I don’t know.
radical agnostic: …?!?!?
Here’s a typical exchange between a meddler and a radical agnostic:
M: Is there a God?
RA: …?!?
M: So you don’t believe in God.
RA: …?!?!?
M: Well, are you a believer or an unbeliever?
RA: …?!?!?!?
To the RA’s ears, the “dialogue” sounds like this:
M: Vbzntglfng mnhfns?
RA: What? Uh?
M: So you don’t blmpqrkgn in vnzlms.
RA: Huh? What? Eh?
M: Well, are you fngzbljnmkpxs or xzbvfnglrtspfkgl?
RA: Come again? Well what? Eh? Wh…?
Radical agnostics are probably human specimens with a beneficial mutation in brain chemistry.

I have just added comments to ‘the radical agnostic (1) that I now wish I had added here instead. They might offer at least some common ground that believers and ra’s could explore together.
