You get nothing. Just somebody who can't make up their mind. Then I will burn the camp--but without belief in anything but fire. Agnostic is the only honest reply. All the other options are guesswork and flavors.

Re: Theist, Atheist, or Agnostic
Eat your heart out, Pale Hand. Yes, the pictures of flowers are especially impressive. I'll take flowers over the Dead Man's Hand that iano offers.

Thank you. Now in my view, which admittedly is tentative, nihilism makes the most sense. It is very reasonable. I'm sure you wouldn't disagree with that. It is quite reasonable to surrender in any direction. The suspension of belief is painful.

In that case, I wouldn't be atheist, agnostic or believer. I'd be extinct... Perhaps. Or perhaps the Ammonites have merely gone underground, from which locale they watch this nonsense with their incredible eyes, their ancient glittering eyes...

Okay. Now I'm going to have nightmares about Cthulhu. Don't do that, Chiroptera. It's an allusion to "Lapis Lazuli" by W.B. Yeats. Google it and check it out. Fine poem.
