I prefer ignosticism over agnosticism. It's basically a copout of "Yeah, it doesn't really matter and it's not my place to say, so nevermind!"
I'm not a fan of organized religion but if people want to believe in a higher power in their own way, it's not doing me any harm. Unless they shove it in my face. There was a lovely occasion when I was walking through a city and saw this strange guy who was painting things on a canvas. I stood there for a few minutes confused until some friends came over and asked me what was going on. I'd cottoned on that it was something to do with the Church that was nearby and dismissed it as "some religious thing."
Next moment, the guy walks up to me and starts complaining at me, saying that it wasn't about religion, it was just about getting people to experience a relationship with God. I was like "Oh, fair enough, I'm alright with that" until he added "And Jesus," to the end of the sentence, which fuelled a massive debate which lasted for roughly fifteen minutes, out in the street with a gathering crowd, about how the inclusion of Jesus in a relationship with God automatically makes it religious, while the only retort being thrown at me was "Yeah, but you're wrong."
Why are the people who try to convert you to their faith always the stupidest and least able to make a decent argument out of the entire group?

This? It hurts listening to it. It just intensifies my mental image of Brand: A man who has picked up a philosophy book at one point in his life and memorised a few passages to repeat them ad nauseum in order to make himself sound clever and insightful.
