Despite the emoticon, I can only conclude at this point that you are incapable of thinking.
Agnosticism is a neutral position, there have been plenty atheists here that have stated unequivocally that a God doesn't exist, so enough with the word games.

Hmmm... that would mean that we would be perfectly justified in behaving as though god/s did not exist, since we are incapable of discerning any such things thus they don't apply to our world; we get by perfectly happily without any gods. Plus we can hardly be held responsible for our 'blindness', can we? It's how we were made after all.*emphasis mine*
Agnosticism need not be neutral at all. I am agnostic and I definitely do not believe in any gods. But the supernatural is an incoherent idea for which reason nothing about it can be said to be either true or untrue. You insist your god lives in the supernatural zone so of course I don't endorse your belief and yet it doesn't subtract from my agnosticism. If this makes your head hurt just go ahead and let it all out.
