It makes you all look stupid. Go with "agnostic" and leave it at that. At least there is some honor in acknowledging the obvious...and not attaching guesses about whether gods exist or not...or whether it is more probable that they do or don't.
So since you want to throw me out...grow the spine to do it...rather than fish around for a pretense to justify your bullshit.
So what else are you also agnostic about except gods? Are you also agnostic about Santa Claus? Are you agnostic about Smurfs? What about werewolves, vampires, gnomes, and dragons - are you agnostic about them as well or do you tend to be more atheistic?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
