"But yet I pray thee be not wroth for game;
A man may say full sooth in game and play."
- Geoffrey Chaucer, The Cook's Tale, 1390:

The irresponsible actions of a group of radical agnostics are
threatening to jeopardise the glorious battle that awaits the holy
lands, warned Israel and Iran today.
‘These people are dangerously sensible and naively human in their
outlook,’ said Benjamin Netanyahu and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in a joint
statement. ‘We have a clear roadmap for war in the region, but the
soft-line approach to international politics of these fundamentalist
equivocators could prevent millions of martyrs from fulfilling their
destiny. The Middle East is like a powder keg that could explode any
minute – the last thing we need is some crazed pacifists standing around
with fire extinguishers.’
Radical agnostics have hit back at the attack, but insist they don’t
want to offend anyone. ‘We’d just prefer it if religious leaders didn’t
blow the world to oblivion,’ stated Daniel Olszewski, a spokesman for
the group known as The Silent Unsure. ‘We may be in the minority, but we
just think that mass human extinction through warfare should be
avoided. Agnostics get a lot of stick from both believers and atheists
for sitting on the fence, but the one thing we’re sure about is that
we’re not quite ready yet to find out if there is an afterlife.’
