The point of the scale is so that Mr Hayter's name can go down in history. ;-)
I'm just trying to work out where I and my older brother would be on it.
The problem is my brother would call himself a "literal agnostic". He reckons that there is a god but that we cannot know him, he is "unknowable" (i.e. have any knowledge about him, we wouldn't be able to able to understand him because he so beyond us etc.). But I, as a Christian, reckon that you can 'know' God extremely well. Indeed you can study him, speak with him, sing praise to him.
Are we on the same discrete part of the scale?
