re: #125 EPR-radar

This is pretty much the way I went as well. Looking back, it really doesn’t seem that ‘agnostic’ makes much sense as a category. None of this stuff is knowable for any definition of knowledge that requires the ability to persuade others by reference to evidence, so from that POV, everyone’s agnostic.

That leaves believer and atheist as the only two games in town.

I think I went with ‘Atheist’ after concluding most people see ‘Agnostic’ as saying ‘I don’t know’. “Well,” I thought, “NOBODY fucking knows, do they? Do you believe there is, or is not a god? No god? Then you’re an atheist”.
