Understanding obscurantism (old: atheist topic)

[Smegma]

creating the whole topic is merely irony. wikipedia is no obscurantist, but at least I know what it is now. To me, obscurantism is just lame.

If you think you understand from that site, you don't.  Only in rare cases does it hit the tip of the iceberg, but you wont get it.

You are, however, not explaining what obscurantism is. That in itself, is an act of obscurity, or however you call it. You're not spreading the info, you're keeping it in the dark. you're keeping it obscure. HOWEVER, you created this topic, bringing some info into the open. You want to explain, but at the same time, you don't.

You are, in other words, an attention whore.

So how did you get enlightened?

I have explained many many times! READ THROUGH THE TOPIC!

Second, if you dont like this, don't read it.

So how did you get enlightened?

It is not something you can get or obtain.

This is going no where, just like I said when this topic opened Smegma. Locked.
