And what's this shit about supporting make-believe figures? If I supported those ideas, I would say so.
You make that sound pretty special. Do you believe it is impossible for anyone to have knowledge about gods/God? Or is your agnosticism personal, more a matter of fitting your dispositions? I only ask to find out if you think every right thinking person should share your position.
Have you said if you identify as an agnostic theist? Those are fun. Maybe you avoid the question of god belief altogether? I admit I have only the fuzziest of notions regarding what a god may be. So I can get behind boycotting the question pending an adequate definition. I think I may be, like, a 1/16th ignostic. But I obviously don't really mind discussing it or I wouldn't be here.
Regardless I'm willing to stack my atheistic agnosticism up against your purist agnosticism any day of the week .. and most definitely twice on Sunday.
