Subject: RE: BS: New things about atheism
Amos, I think I'm following Kant's argument thusly: Since there may be reality beyond the perception of our five senses, there may exist a deity that we would not be aware of. Of course there may not be a deity but since we can't be sure one way or another atheism becomes illogical.
   Does his theory mean that agnosticism is the most logical position regarding the existence of God(s)?
   I personally think his argument supports my own theory of Irrelevantism (my own word). If a deity may or may not exist in a dimmension that we cannot perceive, then what possible relevance could said deity have for us, especially in the practicality of our day-to-day existence.
   I used to like telling evangellical types that I was an atheist just for the shock value, but it wasn't really true. Now I just say I'm a Secular Humanist. They hate that just as much.
