i loathe when people use agnosticism to mean that they're on the fence. like 'im not sure if there's a god. im agnostic' OMGWTFDIE
I agree with you. I consider myself an agnostic for a couple reasons. I don't feel there is anything to disprove. Were there any credible evidence or reason to believe that a loving, all powerful, omnipotent god existed, there would be something to disprove. In that case, however, I most certainly wouldn't have the viewpoint that I currently do (more on that later). Also, quite honestly, I don't like the label 'athiest' and the connotation that comes with it for most people.

To keep the rest of the post as simple as possible, I'm just going to use the word agnostic as being unsure, aka 'on the fence'.

Possible flaw with this logic/viewpoint: Say you are very skeptical of the christian god and bible, and you think there might be a 10% chance that the bible is accurate and the christian god exists. Were this the case, you should be a DEVOUT christian. 1%, same thing. Unless you think that this god that emcompasses everything and can read everyone's thoughts simultaneously, and will consider logical thought to be a sin punishable by throwing your soul into hell for eternity, then I can't help you. rofl.

The point being is that eternal torture should be weighted much more strongly than anything that's done on earth. The fact that the chance that this is relevant is effectively 0, it doesn't bother me a whole lot.
