I believe that in the real world, agnostics are viewed with skepticism. I mean, why would you respect a person who chooses to "weasel" out on religion?
After reading an article which used the word agnostic as a metaphor, I realized that there can be a different perspective on agnostics. Specifically, "agnostic" was thus used "a platform-agnostic OS".
The usual description of such an OS would be "platform-independent"
And then I realized. Agnostic may not really mean "I don't care about religion"
It may mean "It doesn't matter what religion the world subscribes to, I am myself, and will function equally well as a human being no matter what religion you are. I am independent of religion; religion-independent."
Agnostics FTW.
Update: Agnostics FTW, as long as they aren't human.
