(sigh) Bob. You did say you cannot know God. You are an atheist, my friend. YOU: “[Agnosticism] genuinely is the only system that makes sense to me, since it doesn't require belief. I really am perfectly content to leave unanswerable questions [like the existence of God] unanswered.” (Here you claim the question of whether God exists is “unanswerable.” In other words, you claim here one simply cannot know whether God exists. This side of heaven there is no perfect knowledge of anything, but one can know if God exists more confidently than whether agnosticism or atheism exists. (grin)) YOU:”I only accept that which can be in some way observed or measured-- in short, that which can be proven. The existence or non-existence of a supreme being is not one of these things.” Here is your argue put more simply: 1. I only accept that which can be proven, 2. The existence of God cannot be proven, 3. Therefore I cannot ever accept the existence of God. ***** What we see here in you is a mind so closed it thinks it is open.
