  1. lech (I realize you’re gone) I’m saying that if you tell me my house has a room I can’t access, measure, or use for anything, then my house, for all intents and purposes, doesn’t actually have that room, and believing that my house does have that room is useless- I could believe my house had anything I wished, and they’d all be equally valid.

    If a god showed up tomorrow on my doorstep and demonstrated magical powers, I’ll believe in it. Much as if a stoat showed up on my doorstep, I’d believe in that. As far as I know, that doesn’t make me an agnostic.

    As for whatever that pen thing was supposed to be: I’m saying that your belief or disbelief in the existence of that red pen is meaningless. And that believing in a red pen for which you have no evidence means you can believe in anything you want and act on that as well. Which is generally considered disordered behaviour.
