I've heard a bunch of quite well-known scientists and other famous people (e.g. Niel deGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye) who have claimed that scientists, to be true to themselves, "must" be agnostic, not…Continue

"@Julian Isn't that an agnostic deist?  As far as my understanding of the alternatives goes, either there are no gods... or there are approximately 3,000 gods, or there is that teapot in orbit, or there are aliens that visit us, or there is…"

"Or how about, an honest atheist is also agnostic, since, while logically possible, a gnostic atheist would register a full 7 on the Dawkins scale?"

Julian Fiander replied to Julian Fiander's discussion 'Atheist / Agostic Debate'
"Like you say about Dawkins calling himself a 6.9, I've always been willing to accept the deistic argument, since (where we stand now in science) there's no real way to test the hypothesis, nor is there any evidence of absence, since the…"

"Just an example that popped into my head on reading your comment, Strega: Someone who believes in the possibility of a religious being, and despite the lack of evidence, decides yet to believe. In a way, Pascal's Wager fits in here. You can bet…"

"@Keith  I think it would be very difficult to be an agnostic theist.  I can only get my head around the concept of an agnostic deist.  That I can at least comprehend. Is there such a thing as an agnostic theist?"

Lying to her parents (or else...)

Posted on March 23, 2013 at 1:20am 26 Comments

So I'm not really sure why I suddenly want to write this, but I do, so... here it goes...

First, some background.

I was fortunate enough to be raised by two of the most tolerant and considerate parents I've ever met. My mom was raised Catholic in French Canada, and my dad became Jewish during college, when he met his first wife. When he met my mom, he already had two kids, 7 and 3, who had been raised so…
