Another lost argument with a sanctimonious agnostic
I won't go into the gory details, but I'm officially done ever having another "discussion" with an agnostic.

Yes, the "F" word came up and yes, the dictionary definitions were used and abused. You've all had the same exact conversation.

I've finely come to the conclusion the only purpose in calling oneself an agnostic is to claim an impenetrable defense against the usage of the word fundamentalist.



From now on, any future "discussion" involving a sanctimonious agnostic will be abruptly ended by me saying, "I am an agnostic. I do not believe in god. Fuck off."

1. Agnosticism: How to Claim an Imaginary Middle Ground Using Semantics and Strawmen.
It's the same as the imaginary middle ground claimed by liberal Christians.

3. If they're going to have to have religion, may as well base it on XKCD.

There's an appropriate comic for every situation. :D
