Is being an agnostic playing it safe?

One of the members of that club has been calling things I post delusional and paranoid ~ and she has questioned my mental health ~ innumerable times over the last decade and a half.

On a fair few occasions over the years, she has diagnosed me as having malignant narcissistic personality disorder, and on at least one of those occasions, she has cited her own ongoing work on a master's in psychology as her authority and expertise.

It's her prerogative to do so.

Unless you call yourself @divegeester, then this is untrue. And I would never use the word 'malignant' when talking about NPD, so your story is incorrect on two counts. But you've also claimed to once be in the Yakuza, so I guess it's impossible to know your version of the truth.

Again, the agnostic plays it safe when it comes to not being wrong about the existence of God, any God.

Agnostic? Looking it up as you suggest, is a person who believes that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God or of anything beyond material phenomena; a person who claims neither faith nor disbelief in God.

Again, I have already told yo ...[text shortened]... y crazy If I try to keep up with you.

Good night to you, if it's also night wherever you may be.

Not sure I agree, but the rest is worth a snerk anyways.

As someone of truth in the direction you’re speaking of for whatever reasons they truly believe what they say in their direction of conviction at a certain period of time or life long. I feel this is you, but of course I hope it’s only temporary.

I get that "this" [above] refers to...

...but I don't really know it means.

If you are wondering if/hoping that my agnostic atheism is temporary, I think not. It's been about 20 years already.

And yet you did, several times, over the last however many years. I just assumed you were very, very, very angry. There was one time when you 'backed it up' with a link to an article in an academic magazine.

Wait. A "true agnostic" is someone who goes to church just to be seen, snd maybe feels peer pressure to fit in?

I’m sorry it’s not clear, that’s an example in the other direction.

No I haven't. I am British. Britons can't be in the Yakuza.

I doubt it.

I believe you, like @divegeester, conveniently misremember.

Nonetheless, you claimed it. If you are no longer pushing that claim, then so be it.

You have tried to weaponize mental health "diagnoses" in your banter many, many times over the years. Perhaps it is inconvenient for you to acknowledge that at this juncture

I made a joke about being in the Yakuza about six years ago. I wasn't "pushing a claim".

As Jim Carey said in dumb and dumber when he got shot down by his dream girl with one in a million chance.

Then there’s hope!🙂

@suzianne
And you ~ quite bizarrely ~ have been trying to squeeze mileage out of your OWN whoosh moment for the last six years.

@pettytalk said
I'm afraid that you have me at a disadvantage with this elsewhere.

You’re telling more lies here.

As someone who’s been in this pontificating about Christian values and beliefs this last week it hasn’t taken long for you be found out.

What is it with you and your zero sense of humour.
