Ah! Bebert, you know, that just isn't fair. First, that assumes you have the
opportunity to 'make a decision' before death.
Second, any agnostic worth his/her gray matter will tell you that it's not a
position taken for comfort/security/covering of bases, rather, a tension
between levels of (human) knowledge vs blind acceptance. Agnosticism isn't a
static position--though some seem to make the jump: it's not easy to know;
therefore it's impossible to know--it's (ideally) a constant kicking of what
many assume (for peace of mind?) a dead horse.
(And I guess Kant won't be angry with you, since you put that smile face at
the end of yr comment.)
Trying to get the dead horse up & galloping.
