    Again, not by the strict meaning of agnosticism, as defined by the guy who invented the term. This interpretation of agnosticism as somehow either being complete apathy or else in-between atheism and theism (whatever the hell that means) is popular, and wrong. Agnosticism is a methodology of applying logic and reason to human perception as a means of discovering truth.

    When you've had enough, you scream, "Oh God!" as you pray at the porcelain alter.

    I'm pretty sure it's impossible to explain. I don't mean that in a mocking way at all.

    I get ridiculed on here for all kinds of things I know to be 100% true but others find preposterous and "out there", because we all lead different lives and we all have different experiences and we only learn the particular truths we are exposed to or are open to.

    Many people here may not have the breadth of life experience I have due to caution, contentment, or mostly due to being younger and growing up in tamer times. I don't hold their innocence against them, knowing time will prove me right. But I do care enough about them to at least point out things I think they have a right to know about.

    And I appreciate when they point things I didn't know out to me.

    Everything we know about humans proves the opposite.

    The average human ancestors from any previous time weren't all that bright in comparison to today.

    No.

    I thought that would have been clear, however all comedy is mostly true.
