An agnostic is an atheist, because knowledge is equal to belief. Humans cannot be fully objective by definition: they know gravity, they believe in gravity. They know stars, they believe in stars. They know logic, they believe in logic. They don't know real dragons, they don't believe in real dragons. To know is simply to strongly believe.
Differentiating between equal verbs is even the Proof that humans know what they believe and believe what they know, because even if another human source verifies that belief, it will be a human verification, therefore subject...

There may be some genuine fence-sitters who we could call "agnostics", but what is really dumb is to define agnostic as somebody who admits that he doesn't know for sure. By that definition agnostic could be either someone
1) who believes in God and acts accordingly
2) who doesn't believe and lives his life as if God didn't exist
as long as both accept the possibility that they are wrong. Categorizing 1) as a theist and 2) as an atheist is more practical.

Possibilites aside
Thats not what actually happens
Agnostics are 99% of the time the 2 variety.
Coming from a materialistic background, I have grown interested in the mystical layers of religion, such as Orthodox monasticism and Islamic sufism and the thoughts of the likes of Evola and Guenon in particular.
Not having a deep understanding of philosophy, I'd like to get an explanation in layman terms on what exactly are the implications of the view that several religious traditions and initiatory paths deriving and being valid in the light of a primal Tradition from a metaphysical(not historical!) perspective.
What attracts me to mysticism is that I can...

I have a suspicion about mysticism. That it only works when it does not violate the laws of physics. Which means mostly never.

Is he ever coming back /his/?
Only when Britain is in most desperate need.
So if you're British, be cheerful. As bad as things are, they can definitely get worse, but on the plus side when they reach maximum shittiness you'll have Arthur back.
>>1305962
I can imagine it now. King Arthur pouring out of the glowing gate of heaven, his warhost at his flanks, skewering the saracen mayor of London on his lance. He steps down from his steed and passes the faire blade to Sir Farage. Britain shall be cleansed.

As far as Arthur is concerned, the only thing that is happening is that the family of Palomedes is giving the Saxons a taste of their own medicine.

was that the period that Japan succeeded in putting the meat into Korea?

I am of the conviction religion should be discouraged and openly rebuffed. Not persecuted, due to the tendency of this to create martyrs and add fire to the fervor of already deluded believers, but simply scorned and treated as a dangerous and archaic - if somewhat amusing - remnant of pre-modern thought. In the same way that defunct ideas/notions such as alchemy or the Galenic corpus or the Miasma theory of disease are no longer considered in any decision-making on part of individuals or groups or taken seriously by people, religion should not be exempt. And yet, people continue...
