I'm not out to get you so you can relax a bit more - you remind me of Christians who think that non-Christians are only motivated by daemons.
I'm not out to disprove or undermine agnosticism! I'm just discussing this topic and developing my understanding through a dialectic. I might even turn around and say- oh I see: identifying as an agnostic has no effect on anybody. But for now I like lots of atheists here I disagree with Rhythm and think that an agnostic identity makes a difference in your life...
Well, honestly, I think an agnostic frame of mind really does make an immense difference in my life. There are a few questions where it is important to realize there is no 'truth' in the sense of justified believe which anyone may have. Then the way they express their confidence in their beliefs on those topics becomes telling.
