Know It All

"I'm Eggnogstic."
The Chemical Buddha was often asked if he believed in God or the virgin birth of Jesus. Since, he was an enlightened one, he wanted to have an answer. So he would reply, "There is much you don't know." He thought that seemed like a solid answer and didn't commit him to anything. Besides, he'd hear that those who didn't know were called eggnogstic. Which he thought was weird, but made since to him because people always talked about God and Jesus around the prime eggnog serving season of Christmas. Personally, he loved eggnog for the rum. Little did he realize, that he had coined a new term and real agnostics thought he was making fun of them. One time, he expressed his shock at seeing an agnostic drinking eggnog by saying, "I thought you were eggnostic." After which he was beaten about the head and shoulders with a plastic nativity scene baby Jesus. He was able to appreciate the irony.
What do you think you know?
How has thinking you know, rather than actually knowing, created misunderstandings in your life?
