In the absence of constuctive progressive dialogue the views espoused whilst debateable are as reasonable as any.

@FrayedBear Perhaps the views expressed have some validity, as it is to be expected to question if our methodology is correct always.
Not so with the tone of that rhetoric, it is devisive and combative begining to end and always seems to be so on Patheos.

I believe you are Agnostic not Ignostic.

@DenoPenno Does it matter?

@rogueflyer [en.m.wikipedia.org] ?

@FrayedBear My bad. Thanks for the link.

@rogueflyer TO ME
When I use the term Agnostic, its from the philosophic-literate position. One who claims to have no gnosis of any God, no special knowledge, lacking Gnosis.
So I am Agnostic
When I use the term Atheist it is also from the philosophic-literate position. One who claims no belief in any god(s), lacking Theism.
So I am also Atheist

Most precisely, I am Ignostic

I am an Ignostic

I was raised a believer
AS a believer I thought understanding God of the utmost import.
SO I studied that.
Which is why I am today an Igtheist/Ignostic

Ignosticism is an Epistomologic position; it is a set of ideas refuting the importance of determining the existence of God. It claims that knowledge regarding the reality of God is altogether unprofitable.

It is the idea that every theological position assumes too much about the concept of God and other theological concepts; including (but not limited to) concepts of faith, spirituality, heaven, hell, afterlife, damnation, salvation, sin and the soul.

Ignosticism or igtheism is the idea that the question of the existence of God is meaningless because the term god has no coherent and unambiguous definition.

IF you cannot even define what you are talking about, or consider it beyond human understanding, how is it you can claim to know anything about it and keep your intellectual integrity intact?

@Davesnothere Who would have thought nonbelief could be so complicated? I'm just a simple person of A Theist belief. A little more learned now. Thank you.

If this virus was really pandemic, the common flu should be world wide emergency crisis, the difference of their uesrly death tolls show that.
I like your comment about whom actually created the virus, which i like to show also.
Our inequality is out of control, Pence is driving inequality with ignorance. The whole white house is involved in it. It needs fixed...

They likely wish it on all us heathens...and liberals. Still unbelievable to me that complete numbnuts like these run things.

Perhaps you could pray for Pence to be put in a bacon slicer and become "rasher- nalised".

Yeah, Thor definitely works better. He throws hammers and shit.

@Gwendolyn2018 I have to disagree with you as whop would want to have a representative of anything medical helping with this problem. Aesculapius may actually have something to say that would make a real difference. God of Medicine, what are you thinking?

People get the government that they deserve. It concerns me that the collective numbskulls of the United States of America are still trying to impose their vile theism upon the rest of the world in exactly the same way as Islamic State.

We didn't empower them . Trump lost the election by nearly three million votes ! It's the electorial collage , established to empower old white men , when this country was in it's infantasy , that is still holding us back . It needs to be removed , It takes a lot less to birbe a few members of the electorial collage than it does to hood wink the entire country .

Not only is Pence an imbecile, he is also a dangerous imbecile.

Pence's incompetence has already been exposed, but that has not changed the minds of his supporters because in their minds he is doing God's work.

if (and when)their pathetic response falls flat on its incompetent face , trump will oust pence as vp running mate and get someone else worse to fill the ticket.... most likely his pea brained daughter

@Redneckliberal Hard to find a bigger ass kisser than pence though.

Perhaps you got that the wrong way round and Coronavirus will remove idiots, along with prayer, from the world.

@Petter It has a 2-3% fatality rate. Rich, old, white men will get good care and be fine. The poor will show up too late at the ERs, strain the healthcare resources, and die anyway.

@Emerald and spread it to each other because they can't take time off from work when they're sick.

@1of5 I'm not poor but as a healthcare worker I have a higher than average chance of getting it and I guarantee you my employer will make me burn through my PTO if I'm sick.

@Emerald if you were in any other proffession of low pay itd most probably be the opposite - if you even had PTO to begin with.
