Agnosticism, like religious belief, involves a commitment to a position that cannot be fully satisfied; just as an agnostic running toward a sunset finds it receding as they approach, the pursuit of absolute certainty through agnosticism leads to an endless cycle of seeking more evidence without ever reaching definitive truth.

Stuart Knechtle | George Mason | My Favorite Agnostic Analogy | Give Me an AnswerAdded:
Well, an agnostic is sold out just as much, if not more, than somebody who takes part in one of the major world religions. Because it's so easy for an agnostic to step back and say, "Uh, I'm just not sure. N a little more here, a little more there. No, I need more evidence there." My favorite analogy, I hope you catch this one. Sometimes people just don't catch it, is the strong agnostics see the sunset and they run towards it because they they think it's absolute truth, right? And just as they approach and get closer to the sunset, it recedes. And they're like, "Oh, okay.
Well, it's still there. Let me run towards it faster."
And as soon as they get close to it, it just recedes and just keeps receding.
