He believes in his own incertitude. And agnosticism is not the same as atheism, in that an agnostic does not totally dismiss the existence of God, as opposed to the atheist.

quote: These are my five pillars of good:

Freedom of speech: not only what you want but how you want, minorities like bretons and basques should be entitled to this on even terms.

Freedom to work: not the way China interprets this, but to work as it fits YOU, to work with whatever you like, if you are like me, at your best at nights, you should be allowed to work with what you want to at nights.

Freedom of belief: If you want to believe in a tea cup as the saviour, do so.

Freedom of responsibility: You are free to take your own blame for the things you

Why?

Laukev7:

quote: Why?

Oh, I see. So you're making a short, bold assertion absolutely devoid of any intelligent argument, and you ask me to prove my point?

flap:
How can I possibly argue why there is an absence of wrong-ness? I can't explain why it's not "wrong" to drink coffee, beyond asserting that there's nothing I'm aware of to suggest it is wrong.

Laukev7:
I guess you could argue that nothing is 'wrong' in itself, if that's your point. You could even say that smoking isn't 'wrong'. It only damages your and other peoples' health. There's nothing 'wrong' in killing other people, either; you're just depriving other people from their life. Wrong has no meaning outside of interpretation.

But one could also say that everything is wrong until proven right, so your argument is only correct where 'innocent until proven guilty' is generally agreed upon.

Anyway.

How about the simple and well-documented fact that  incest generally does very bad things to its offsprings?
