You're Not Agnostic, You're An Atheist

144. I didn't go to psychology school

but your pattern of behavior is very familiar to me, being repeated more times on this board that I could count.

When confronted with a substantial point that undermines your position, do everything you can to avoid responding directly to it in any way. Go off on long, rambling tangents, get snarky, try to re-establish a position of intellectual superiority by academic puffery, pretend that the evidence for your claim is "out there" and that you have no need or desire to present it, or try to pretend that no substantive point has been raised (and in the last case, it was that there is a significant difference between not knowing whether you should believe in something based on the available evidence, and not knowing whether you actually do believe in it or not).

And once again, as noted, you're free to call and consider yourself whatever you like, but that doesn't necessarily make it so in any rational or objective way. You can call and consider yourself a lawyer, and represent lots of happy clients, but if you haven't passed the bar exam and been licensed to practice, your argument that YOUR label for yourself is the only one that matters will fly like a lead balloon, when you're charged in court.

And while I'm sure being your student is quite the experience, I think you've been schooled enough for now.
