Dikkii commented on Фелч Гроган's blog post 'Re: Some thoughts upon the popular idea of deriding Agnostics as "fence-sitters".'
I think that it's more correct to say that I was prepared to give her the benefit of the doubt. If you cut and pasted correctly, you might notice that I offered no such grounds for excusing her.
You must forgive me for misinterpreting your…

@ Dr F. Grogan Actually, that was the supposed plagiarist I was referring to. The last two paragraphs apparently were lifted by him from somewhere else.
Whoever were you referring to in that somewhat oblique last statement?

@Tom - I believe that's called a 'modus tollens' exception:
A: To make a claim about a theistic being, we must have evidence. B: We don't have evidence. C: Therefore, we can't make claims about a theistic being.

I do know who provided your quote, although I remember someone saying to me once that he may have plagiarised it from somewhere else.
You are quite correct about the definitions thing, although I tend to use the term 'agnostic' as it…

Being agnostic myself, I cop the reverse of this frequently from sanctimonious atheists who deem it necessary to regale me with the tale of Russell's teapot. I usually object to this patronising attitude and I once blogged about my reasons why…

For those who don't know, the federal Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Stephen Conroy is proposing internet censorship at ISP level. In my opinion, the moves being planned are an INTERNATIONAL DISGRACE!!!

On the subject of Glarbism

I was recently reminded of glarbs on Bronze Dog's blog. I find the Glarbism phenomenon fascinating.
Have you ever met a Glarbist? I haven't, but nonetheless, I still find Glarbism fascinating.
According to Glarbists, glarbs are flarschnikit. I kid you not.…

Not sure how I'm going to use this blog feature. I suspect that it'll just be too hard to do my main blog and keep this one up to date as well, but I'll have a bash.
In the meantime, my main blog is here: Dikkii's Diatribe
And we'll see if that's that.

Chrys Stevenson said… - Hi Dikii! Welcome to Atheist Nexus. I'm Kris from Queensland. I'd like to invite you to join our Aussie, Kiwi and South Pacific Atheists Group. Please feel free to drop in any time to add a comment, join in a discussion, or to start a topic of your own.
I'd also like to let you know about our Australian working group which is brainstorming ideas for a submission on "Freedom of Religion and Belief in the 21st Century" for the Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission. We think it's important that atheists have a voice in this important discussion. If you're interested, we'd love to have your input.
I hope you enjoy the site!
