You happen to be talking to an agnostic. You know what an agnostic is? A cowardly atheist.

My view is that if there is no evidence for it, then forget about it. An agnostic is somebody who doesn’t believe in something until there is evidence for it, so I’m agnostic.

Yee Bow
They got me into the Sunday-school
In Spoon River
And tried to get me to drop Confucius for Jesus.
I could have been no worse off
If I had tried to get them to drop Jesus for Confucius.
For, without any warning, as if it were a prank,
And sneaking up behind me, Harry Wiley,
The minister's son, caved my ribs into my lungs,
With a blow of his fist.
Now I shall never sleep with my ancestors in Pekin,
And no children shall worship at my grave.

All lawyers are not Liars
The girl is dead when she left my head.
Philosophy and religion are confusion
Don't confuse Confucius with religion.
It is only Confucius knows where the vote goes,
A sage of a past age.
Except of course for Nigeria;
Where the incubent President
Chooses the coming President.
They always play the same old song
And the people always dance the same old dance.
But there will be sun after the rain
Even Lucifer will not live forever.
But of course, it is so true.
Not all lawyers are liars.

After Gaetan Picon
All seeing is joy
when it is simply seeing.
It is from the mind
that the trouble comes.
When it is simply seeing
the eye is lucid, whole;
the trouble comes
when the mind divides.
The eye is lucid, whole,
illiterate, agnostic;
where the mind divides,
the worm of blindness enters.
Illiterate, agnostic,
the stunned eye falters;
enter the worm, blindness,
the serpent, text.
The stunned eye falters.
It is from the mind,
this serpentine text.
Only seeing is joy.

Democracy is the only system capable of reflecting the humanist premise of equilibrium or balance. The key to its secret is the involvement of the citizen.

I had grown up in a humanist atmosphere, and war to me was never anything but horror, mutilation and senseless destruction, and I knew that many great and wise people felt the same way about it.
