What would you think if someone else's agenda is in serious conflict with your world view?
So your agenda is to attack those who don't have your worldview? Why is yours correct and theirs terrible?
I came to these forums with an agenda, to attempt to understand what, why and how fundamentalist Evangelicals think plus to help others in correct ting their misconceptions about atheism.
You and Arach like accusing others of having agendas and yet both of you seem to have agendas too.
There is a huge difference between "is" and "can be".
Every regular poster here has an agenda...most certainly including you.
Most certainty the both of us. Of course mine is more about looking at why we say things and what life experiences decide the weights we use. Also, comparing what we say against each others to see who is doing what.
Yours seems to be fight religion. In a non political forum none the less. That's a highly questionable agenda.

And the fight religion is as passionate as the religion itself.
Some of the earlier posts in the thread, -those that came from atheists at least, seemed to be largely along the lines of (in a nut shell): "I'm okay with saying 'I don't know'".
And that's fine because that's the kind of thing I say all the time as well.
I mean we actually don't have a choice, because if we don't have answers, we don't have answers and that's that.
But even though that might be my stock answer, I do wonder if maybe I mull the big questions over more than most. Because actually I do want to know the answers to the things that amaze me.
And I also sometimes think that 'I don't know' is kind of just as lazy an answer as 'god did it' because what it says is you can't be bothered to think that hard (no offense to anyone as I said I do it too).
And especially when things seem impossible. The puffa fish for example that I posted on page one. How the heck does a tiny fish with a tiny brain achieve that? Most humans couldn't even do that.
And there ends my contribution to getting the thread back on track.
It is an awesome thread and I wish there were more direct engagement with it.
Thank Mystic.
