Following much discussion on the Militant Atheism thread, I've started another on the totally different animal that is Militant Agnosticism.
If, as quite a few of us accept, agnostic is the default setting of the Fortean, is it possible to be militant? Is it really possible to be actively agnostic (as opposed to passively agnostic - actively religious and actively atheist certainly exist.) I was an atheist but became an agnostic as atheism is a bit unFortean - you can't dismiss wholesale what you can't absolutely disprove, but you can deem it unlikely.
Come to that, is agnosticism really the Fort default (I think it is, but that doesn't mean I'm right.) Discuss.
