Why Agnostic?

[Ryft]

The agnostic is simply a sit-on-the-fence atheist, in my opinion. ... Combining the straightforward concept of atheism with the crap that is agnosticism (at least as far as the two definitions of which I am aware) is bullshit—hence, 'wishy-washy'.

Can a person believe that life exists elsewhere in the universe, given cogent arguments for the probability thereof? Is it possible for that very same person to admit not knowing whether or not such life exists, given the lack of empirical evidence for it?

If not, why not?

I am only saying that the moral question, to me, is an equally important one to ask about the god concept evaluated ...

The question is interesting and important—and practically impossible for any conceivable scale or chart, given the sheer number of deities that are and have been proposed. The scale would have to somehow account for the literally hundreds upon hundreds of readily identifiable ones, each with its own moral dimension to consider and evaluate. Compounding this are the sheer number of ethical theories that people hold; the scale would have to somehow account for all of these. To pull off a scale or chart that manages to accomplish all this?

Heh, I think it is difficult enough just trying to account for the various iterations of theism, atheism, and apatheism!
