2+2=5: A Case for Agnostic-Atheism

Profile of the Sociopath

This website summarizes some of the common features of descriptions of the behavior of sociopaths.

Glibness and Superficial Charm

Manipulative and Conning
They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.

Grandiose Sense of Self
Feels entitled to certain things as "their right."

Pathological Lying
Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests.

Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt
A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.

Shallow Emotions
When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.

Incapacity for Love

Need for Stimulation
Living on the edge. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal. Promiscuity and gambling are common.

Callousness/Lack of Empathy
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=29347
Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others' feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them.

Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature

I find your argument flawed as it only refers to an Abrahamic version of God. The Sikh belief of a Godlike entity is described by Mool Mantar. This is how I see things;

Why would God make 2+2=5 when God created 2+2=4? God is all powerful in order to be able to create everything -the laws of logic, the laws of math, the laws of physics etc. God is omnipresent as God is throughout that creation. Things have come together beautifully to create all the life we have here on Earth. Any number of factors being slightly different would have thrown things out and resulted in a completely different combination. Therefore, God is not pointless. Everything science discovers and explains was created in that way by God.
Secondly, 2+2=5 may well exist on another planet. We do not currently have the expertise to know whether this is the case or not so how can we possibly say it is not happening?! To rule out 2+2=5 as logical in another situation as it is not within our grasp is very elitist
