"Now suppose we had a belief system in which the central tenet was insistence that everything be questioned? Fanaticism would thus be impossible, since the moment a person accepted any belief without question they would violate the central doctrine of their faith." No Steve, they wouldn't need to wait that long since the belief system that they stated with must also be questioned. This is the big problem with being absolutely agnostic, it is self defeating. According to Geisler; " Total agnosticism is self defeating because it assumes some knowledge about reality in order to deny any knowledge of reality." In other words, if you claim to know that nobody can know anything, then you know at least one thing for sure. They could also simply be (and frequently are) fanatical about questioning everything. Persecuting all those who have the temerity to question the proposition "that everything be questioned". Good evening, or whatever time it is over there.
