Joke thread

[Big Swifty]

Well just to be even more pedantic - many would argue (though use of language is never a black and white issue) that Gnosticism and Theism describe different things and so you can actually be both atheistic and agnostic simultaneously. One is a statement of belief, the other a statement of knowledge.

You can lack belief in a god without asserting that there is no god or without knowing that you are correct. In fact I think most atheists would fall into that category. Agnostic atheism is like a “default position”. You don’t believe in a god but you also don’t believe there is no god - you effectively have no position on the issue.

The positive assertion that no god exists would be what many would describe as gnostic atheism, or sometimes anti-theistic. Though people would argue these are more technical categorisations and are not compatible with the common parlance, which is closer to your description.

But you know… this is the joke thread and something something the atheist left his bike outside.

Bloody hell.

And I thought I was a pedant........

However pedantic you think you’re being. There’s always a bigger pedant on the internet…

I’m expecting somebody to come along and out-pedant me any moment.

Well, I'm just waiting for one more instance of someone writing "the criteria is ....." so I can leap in to point out that "criteria" is a plural formation, the singular form being "criterion", just as "one phenomenon" but "two or more phenomena."
Doesn't anyone learn Greek any more?

I think the only Greek anyone on here understands is the kebab menu.

Yes - it recalls the old Les Dawson/Roy Barraclough double act as Ada and Cissie

Les "I've just come back from Turkey. I love that Tuirkish food."

Roy: "Did you have the shish kebabs?"

Les: "Ooh yes - I was never off the toilet"

Reminds of the old joke. Clever these Chinese even the kids can speak the language.
