"Oooh God... if there IS one, save my soul... if I HAVE one."
Allah, perchance, the secret word might spell;
If Allah be, He keeps His secret well;
What He hath hidden, who shall hope to find?
Shall God His secret to a maggot tell?
The Koran! well, come put me to the test—
Lovely old book in hideous error drest—
Believe me, I can quote the Koran too,
The unbeliever knows his Koran best.
And do you think that unto such as you,
A maggot-minded, starved, fanatic crew,
God gave the secret, and denied it me?—
Well, well, what matters it! believe that too.
—Omar Khayyám
"Fence-sitting, intellectual cowardice."
—Richard Dawkins on agnostics
"Well, let me put it this way.......no, I'm not going to try to be clever. I really don't know. I just don't know."
—Stan Lee, when asked in 2002 about his belief in God
Back to the Agnosticism page—if it really exists.
