No. And if you felt attacked, I apologize.

But if you read my post strictly from a logical approach, you can see that it reads as a direct question without any personal attack.

I was quoting a Cambridge scholar regarding agnostic being translated in Latin as “ignoramus.” I would think it’s close.

No. I thought you were calling GORUSH an ignoramus because he said he's an agnostic. See the logic ?

Yeah... you gotta watch those ENGLISH to LATIN translators at Cambridge. It was probably a fraternity prank.

The word "agnostic" means "without knowledge". "Gnosis" means knowledge and "a" means without. So one who calls himself an Agnostic is basically saying he is without knowledge. There's nothing wrong with being without knowledge about certain truths but to want to remain in that state and not try to be "with knowledge" could be thought of as ignorant behavior ESPECIALLY for someone who is capable of understanding.
