I am Agnostic. Agnostics provide balance where a lot of you people just can't seem to realize it. A lot of you think that Agnostic means Atheism, and a lot of you think that Agnostic means we are non-denominational religious. They're both wrong.
Agnostics live in reality alone. We live a life completely devoid of the ultimate question. Why? Because religion can't prove that god exists, and atheists can't prove that he doesn't. We prefer to grab a bag of popcorn and watch you two fight it out.
This can be a problem sometimes, especially on religion's side, when we watch wars between people last thousands of years just because you believe in things you have never seen and they differ from those of others.
Regardless, we walk the line you draw. We as Agnostics cannot be converted to either side until something is handed to us that states we should. Descriptions of faith in god, or half-ass evidence of his absence, is not going to do it.
Atheists don't usually try to convert unless they are attention whores, and even then, they don't seem to be trying to convert. They seem more interested in eliminating the influence of religion on society. That's fine. They get their small victories.
Religious people try to convert me constantly, they see me as some gray area just waiting for a sign to join their ranks. Reading from a book that men wrote is not the answer. When it doesn't work, they typically resort to being childish, such as calling names and damning me to hell. That's... cute.
Whether you are atheist or religious, do NOT speak to me about religion unless you are fully, and I mean FULLY, prepared to have your beliefs challenged. I will argue you, right into the dust. You may think you have all the answers, or maybe you just follow your beliefs because you're afraid of being wrong. Either way, I will stomp you into the ground without touching you if you come to me with nothing but faith. The only prayer you have (no pun intended) is to stay stubborn, childish, and catty, because then, even if you didn't convince me, you can walk away with the ignorance of thinking that you made your point just by being an asshole.
Extremists piss me off.
