Some agnostics claim that their philosophy is the only logically defensible position. This may be true, but it is also an inadequate philosophy to live by. It would be better for a person to jump back and forth between atheism and theism than to linger in paralytic agnostic doubt. There is some good to be found in the modesty and honesty of the agnostic position, but its lack of courage is disheartening and weak. Just as one should not go through life without taking risks, one should not adopt a philosophy that is scared to assert itself out of fear of being wrong.
