Ignoramus
by Machiavelli on May 01, 2007 10:25 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

Once a atheist went to Pope and said:
"Pope, I am an atheist". Pope asked:
" Have you read the Bible".
Atheist says "No".
Have you read the "Gita or Quran or any other book of a religion".
Atheist says " No".
Pope says " Then my friend , you are an ignoramus not an atheist".

I am an agnostic.
Periyar was not an atheist he was an ignoramus.

ofcourse. If you doubt the existence of God, then either you can become religious or Atheist. if he assumes he can not become atheist, then he is ignoramus not an agnostic.
