Or, Debunking those (A)theists/(A)gnostics the really dumb way.
As I all know, Atheists, Agnostics, Theists and Gnostics of every race, creed, breed and sexual orientation have taken over the Philosophy and Spirituality forum. As I all also know, it's less a philosophical debate on the questions that have puzzled you and your ancestors for centuries, nay, millennia and more of a primate shit-slinging match.
Unfortunately for the mature, responsible members of these forums(such as myself), trolls and nazi's with reagan masks saturate even the rare intelligent threads almost immediately. I might think you may be wondering why I'm bringing it. I bring it, I always bring it. But that is beside the point.
According to the Flat Earth Society, they are :
Which brings me to my knees and to my point:
Sheep fall in to two categories, unless they fall off of a cliff, in which case they are lamb chops.
In the first category, sheep are:
-Domesticated
-Kept in a pasture, surrounded by a fence.
-Protected by their owners from predators.
-Fed in the winter.
-Sheltered by a barn or other structure.
-Slaughtered
In the second category, sheep are:
-Wild.
-Roam free.
-Find their own shelter.
-Protect themselves.
-Find their own food in winter or face starvation.
-Die of old age, disease or physical confrontations from within the herd or with other wild animals.
My Question is, if all of the above is true, what associations, relevant to the thread title, can you make between Theists, Atheists, Agnostics, Gnostics and Wild Sheep, Domesticated Sheep?

....not in any way responsible for the failure of the French to repel the Germans at the Maginot Line during WWII. Nor is the Flat Earth Society responsible for the recent yeti sightings outside the Vatican, or for the unfortunate enslavement of the Nabisco Inc. factory employees by a rogue hamster insurrectionist group. Furthermore, we are not responsible for the loss of one or more of the following, which may possibly occur as the result of exposing one's self to the dogmatic and dangerously subversive statements made within: life, limb, vision, Francois Mitterand, hearing, taste, smell, touch, thumb, Aunt Mildred, citizenship, spleen, bedrock, cloves, I Love Lucy reruns, toaster, pine derby racer, toy duck, antelope, horseradish, prosthetic ankle, double-cheeseburger, tin foil, limestone, watermelon-scented air freshner, sanity, paprika, German to Pig Latin dictionary, dish towel, pet Chihuahua, pogo stick, Golf Digest subscription, floor tile, upper torso or halibut.
