Let's try to put this into perspective.
As agnostics, we are adamant in our stance that we refuse to commit to either the existance or the non-existance of a 'higher power', in the religious sense. Those unfamiliar with the rigorous strains of agnosticism often mis-characterize our position as being 'wishy washy', when it is quite obviously the polar opposite. Thus, if one can be a devout atheist and others strict agnostics, then drummer can most certainly be an intelligent idiot. So, if I understand drummer's question, he's asking whether the combination of strict agnoticism and intelligent idiocy equate to totally moronicism. Regretfully, my dear friend, I must inform you that, IMHO, the mere combination of these two traits can not add up to 'Complete and Total Moron'. I believe (again, IMHO) that to be a complete and total moron, you must not only be a strict agnostic and an intelligent idiot, but also smoke marijuana without inhaling, have contact with the genitalia of the opposite gender without engaging in sex, order the evacuation of 500,000 people without bothering to consult NOAA, and reverse your position on term limits as your term nears completion.
I have, however, given this subject the considerable amount of additional thought it deserves since my earlier post, and upon digesting your input and reflecting upon your abortive measures for clusters, I feel safe in saying that you are likely the world's most complete and total OXYmoron. I trust you will not feel disappointment, but rather rejoice in the secure knowledge that you remain the most intelligent idiot any of us here know.
KTSSU,
