Wow, the true meaning of agnostic has really been skewed over the years. If someone asks you if you believe in god and your answer is anything but “yes”, you are an atheist. Agnosticism is only a subset of atheism.

It’s become WAY complex these days…I’m an atheist but there’s soft atheism, hard atheism, implicit atheism, explicit atheism and it’s the same with frigging agnosticism. A Hard Agnostic apparently is one who would argue “the existence of god is fundamentally unknowable, we could never answer that” where a Soft Agnostic would be more in the realm of “I simply don’t know myself, it may be knowable but I don’t know”…I can’t even remember what implicit and explicit agnosticism is anymore.

There are no rights. Why do you think when you are arrested, they give you no rights, but the “Right to Remain Silent”?

how about “nothing exists unless it is proven or we can see it in front of us”.

Well, ignoring whether they’re absolute or not…miranda does include more than to remain silent…IF I remember (I’m Canadian so American Miranda rights are different) the arrestee has the right to know what they’re being arrested for, to remain silent (anything they do say can and will be used against them), the right to an attorney & have him present in questioning and finally, that if they can’t afford one another will be appointed to them. I THINK that’s all of ‘em

I know about those rights as well, but I am saying that our government can take away your rights anytime they want to.

Especially in extenuating circumstances. Look at war, rights are all fine and dandy until a war breaks out and suddenly it’s acceptable to “bend the rules” a bit. “Torture? Nah, these aren’t enemy combatants, they’re terrorists and so aren’t held to the same standards the Geneva convention lays out.” Always seemed a bit selective to me.

As for the Law, I do not agree with them some of the times. I respect them so I don’t got to prison, but I will not “obey” them. I don’t really look at it as Anarchy, some of the rules are okay, but fuck they can be changed a bit.
