So a theist, then.
After being asked to articulate a third position once, I wrote
this and the follow up posts if you are actually interested in how I articulate my own position.
My eyes glazed at the first line, because once you've read 'Theism and atheism are both misguided attempts to translate the epic poem of reality into a language of limits, the universe to an Upanishad, the unknown and unexpected cuisine of eternity into bite sized morsels of processed food by-product', you know that what follows is going to be total fucking cock.
And then, because when I went back to close the tab and wasn't quick enough, my eyes fell upon this:
Both theism and atheism are attempts to lay claim to a truth value relating (without warrant) to a cause-effect relationship humans affectionately ascribe to a place we nominally call 'out there'.
And I realised that I should probably just call it a day, since if that's what you think, you don't really think. Nice to be accused of word-salad by somebody who could write such vapid fucking drivel, though. You should get a job writing scripts of the pomo generator, because that's an awful lot of words just to talk bollocks. I mean 'we nominally call'? A screaming tautology in only three words?
I'm impressed at just how fucking stupid that is.
