For some reason, saying "we can't know" is the only logical position when discussing God, but not when discussing all the other possible things that have similar chances of existing. I'm agnostic regarding God in the same way that I'm agnostic regarding the possibility that the moon contains at least 10kg of green cheese.
That's the same way most of the rest of us agnostic atheists are agnostic about God (and the green cheese).
I know, but when people say stuff like "can't know" it bothers me because to use "can't know" in that sense renders it meaningless. Nothing can be absolutely certainly known. Describing oneself as agnostic about it is superfluous, really, and to me it doesn't properly describe the position of only a tiny bit agnostic, but 50-50, which is wrong.
