is the belief (?) that the existence or non-existence of God is unknowable.
Lame joke anyway...it's just been a long day.

therefore i am ... at least i think i think ... maybe someone else is thinking for me and making me think i'm thinking ... but then, even if i'm thinking someone else's thoughts, that's thinking, isn't it? or even if i just think i'm thinking someone else's thoughts, that would count ...
is there any way to determine whether i actually exist ??? and why should i trust your answer anyway? how do i know that you exist?
that concludes my thoughts on this matter ... at least i think it does ...

17. I was just pulling your leg |

Agnotism means you don't think we can ever know the ultimate truth and (I thought) because of that it doesn't really matter you live your life as if there is no god or as if there is however you feel more comfortable.

18. it's all in good fun. |

I'm more making fun of myself than anything else. There's more than the occasional doubt involved, anyway. Pascal's wager and all that...

19. But ulysses, there is one certainty amid the maelstrom: |
|
potato salad.
It is steadily delicious and always welcoming.
Past all the religious threads, there is one sun-flooded and gleaming true thing:
Potato salad.
Forgive me, Lord, but I do love it so.
