Then why hold onto agnosticism?
Imagine a close friend returned from a journey and told you that he had seen a strange new land that does not appear on any map or in any book. You eventually try to find the land but it cannot be found. Does that mean it does not exist? Surely you are left in a suspended state. It is not a state of having faith or having no faith, it is simply a state of 'parking the idea'. Maybe my friend was delusional, maybe there really is such a land, I really don't know.

Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. (KJV)
If it is the Christian version of deity that you speak, your Bible refutes your position.
Diffidus:
But why did He stand and watch the Aberfan disaster? If you had the power, what would you have done?
