Article-I.D.: sdccsu3.300 Posted: Mon Feb 14 14:42:46 1983 Received: Sat Feb 19 13:04:47 1983 References: teklabs.1743 I agree that there need to be discussions of greater depth than some of the "You're wrong, I'm right" sort of things which tend to give the "n" key on the terminal a workout. Perhaps articles dealing with the Nature of religion would be a little better than simple gainsaying. Because I am espousing this type of writing, I will put out a question to you all about the nature of agnosticism. I am an agnostic, and I've always said that I would believe in God when I had sufficient proof that He exists. Only recently have I begun to ask myself what evidence would be enough to convince me. I am still thinking about that one. What would be enough? Another intelligence that was far superior to us would be indistinguishable from the classic forms of God as presented by the various religions. What's the difference, then? I know that this is a question that's been thrashed around a lot, but a discussion of what exactly people define god to be would be appropriate here. Not afraid to be confused, Jack of Shadoows.
