Alright, gotcha but if you follow this strong agnosticism then you don't know if they exist and believe it's impossible for anyone to know. Yet you said "fictional." That would be denying that they can exist at all. That was what I was pointing out. That is an atheist position.

Wrong again, I'm merely making the claim that whatever you or anyone else has to say about a deity is fictional. Meaning that you are making it up. I made no claims about whether or not there was a God or not. Merely that if you say something about knowing anything about them, that you are full of shit.  :D

No, sorry, I never made claims about knowing anything about any gods, I just stated the fact about my beliefs and why they don't fit in with the quizzes questions. You made the statement about fictional deity and deities.

Divine command is divine command... whether or not it comes from multiple fictional entities or just one is neither here nor there.

Are going to tell me that beliefs don't come from knowledge?

Stating that there is more than one deity is just as much an act of fiction as stating that there is one.

When one makes a statement of belief about whether there is one god, no gods, or many gods, they are perpetrating an act of fiction, becuase they have no idea.

Also, I was reffering to divine command... anyone who makes a claim that they recieved a COMMAND from a dvine entity... again.. Full of shit.

The fact that you made a different account for some reason makes it even funnier. Thank YOU for the joke. (and the vid)

Funny, I'm not an athiest.

It doesn't really bother me, I mean.. of course if you don't want to take it becuase it doesn't cover polytheism... by all means don't take it.

I was just pointing out the folly of the fact that it's just a silly quiz that is in fact written in such a way that your answers could probably still be applicable.

I'd like to see this quiz include other philosophies as well... Like Objectivism, or Pragmatism...



Lemme dig up a few links and I'll post them later.
