[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't claim With 100 percent certainty that there aren't green fairies dancing around me right now, it doesn't make it any lesS ridiculous. Look up "the scientific principle".

You make a valid philosophical point. And it cuts to the very heart of the atheist/agnostic hairsplitting. Unfortunately, PP will miss the point entirely, and rather than addressing the underlying epistemological question, will take this as a personal, below-the-belt attack on her personal beliefs.[/quote]

Actually, the issue here is the way you use ad homimen attacks when you don't have a good answer! Trust me, my "belief system" can stand hearing a reasoned response instead of a silly ad hominem attack like this one.
 
Here, why don't you try again, go for it! Explain how your labels below make sense. Because, on the face of it, these labels DON'T make any sense:

- PERSON OF FAITH: 100% sure God (or fairies) exist. Includes Tea Party and other fundamentalists (and people who believe 100% in fairies).

- ATHEIST: 1% to 100% sure God doesn't exist. Includes Mother Theresa, people who currently call themselves agnostics and might be unhappy that you are relabeling them, Richard Dawkins, and all people who are 100% sure God doesn't exist and can ignore the intellectual failure of such a position. (Also, anybody who believes with less than 100% certainty in fairies is an "atheist.")

[/quote]Ooh, Latin! Time for you to learn about a false dichotomy!
