When you say you're an agnostic, do you have in mind that it is not possible to ever know for sure gods do or don't exist conclusively? -Or- Do you mean that while there is no reason of which you are aware why one should not be able to decide whether gods exist, you nonetheless find yourself unable to do so. In short, do you claim agnosticism is structurally unavoidable for creatures such as ourselves, or is just a personal quirk?
I don't understand how being agnostic differentiates you from being a believer or an atheist, unless you are a strong agnostic. If you truly have good reasons for holding that no god belief statement is defensible given our epistemic position, then that really is an alternative to being an atheist or theist. But while most of us admit to agnosticism (weak form), we nonetheless find ourselves entirely capable of forming, holding and acting on beliefs .. even those we recognize to be unresolvable on principle.
