Word of the Day: nescience

god
nescience (n)

Ignorance; agnosticism.

"Your nescience never fails to impress me," Abigail cooed whenever Mr. Dumas offered yet another of his outrageously ill-informed opinions. He would then grin at what he assumed was her admiration."
--Leahcim Setag, Strange Loops

I refuse to be an agnostic. I'm more of a heretic. I believe God is something like the "force" in Star Wars, not like Zeus or the sky diety with the cranky personality described in the Bible. I also believe Jeebus H. Christ had no intention of founding a new religion, and that most of the stories about him are metaphors. Tell me I'm wrong, sailor. Tell me this is nescience.
