Sorry, Kosta, but I think Betty Boop has hit on something here. You sure quack a lot more like an atheist than the "simply seeking the truth" agnostic you seem to want everyone to think you are.

How can kosta be a "'simply seeking the truth' agnostic" when he denies Truth in the first place?

Oh, I'm sorry: He'll say he doesn't deny Truth; he just can't prove that it exists — to his own satisfaction.

So it seems to me that he is talking out of both sides of his mouth, trying to have it "both ways." Which is "no way" that actually works, in logic or reason.

For all practical purposes, the very word "agnostic" means "to know nothing."

And yet kosta presents himself as singularly "all-knowing" — in his purported ignorance (i.e., lack of ability to prove anything).

I'm sorry; but such a method makes no sense to me whatsoever.

Thank you so much for your astute observations, dear boatbums!

I don't deny the possibility of it, altough I don't think it;s very likely, but that's just my opinion based on the fatc that there are notlaking donkeys and that dead people don't get up and go abaout their day as if nothing happened—after being dead for days!

No, I just admit that I don't know something, which is more than some people can do. They must know, or at least pretend to know THE Truth, but they can't prove it!

Now, it seems to me that claiming ignorance and not being able to prove something is more logical than claiming to KNOW something and not being able to prove it.

I know, what make sense to you, apparently, is to imagine something and then proceed to "prove" that it exists by means of "vertical transcendence".

God can only be found with the heart, not the head.

Christianity cannot be reduced to a formula. It is a relationship between a loving, caring Creator with His creation. It’s not a laundry list of do’s and don’t’s to check off to see if we’ve arrived.

Believers can no more validate God’s love for us to someone else than another person can make real to me their love for their spouse or their children.

Some atheist can come along and mock the love of God and then tell me how much they love their children, but I can also come along and tell them that their love for their children is not real because they can’t validate it to me and make me feel it.

So, LG, kosta, JCB, Do you love your husband/wife/children/parents/friends?

Prove it to me.
