Are you really an agnostic? (Introduction)

Am I seeing things? An agnostic is someone who is not an atheist and not a theist. Wilson says in his introduction that he's going to explain why he's not an atheist, and then he's going to consider the alternatives, none of which he believes in. Couldn't be clearer. Along comes Martin Freedman, reads one page, misinterprets pratically every word, sees that Wilson is not an atheist, probably notices the word designer, and calls Wilson a fundamentalist, which I presume is a religious nut! Just because he's willing to consider alternatives to atheism, which apparently means he's biased. Well I can see tbrough your veil, Mr Freedman. You're an atheist paranoid. But I wish I was wrong. - Message to dhw. Good that you've toned down the earlier chapters. Might be worth doing the same later on. Haven't checked, but remember feeling it sometimes got a bit pushy (not that I can talk!). Find your reply to MF remarkably restrained.
