According to Mahatma Koot Hoomi, agnostics "assume the negative position of knowing nothing but phenomena and refuse to believe in anything else."[1] He also added:

Enquiry that only unmasks error, without discovering anything upon which the soul can build, will but make iconoclasts. Iconoclasm from its very destructiveness can give nothing, it can only raze. But man can not rest satisfied with bare negation. Agnosticism is but a temporary halt.[2]
