Oh please. Either you're exaggerating, or you've been going to /r/atheism looking to start fights. In regards to 'agnostic', what the word literally means is that you aren't certain. There are agnostic theists and agnostic atheists. If someone asks if you believe in God and you say you're agnostic, you're not answering the question completely. That's all people are saying, don't let it get to you.

There you go. You're doing it. Stop it. I used to hang around in /r/agnostic and left because of the constant trolling from people insisting this argument you're making is valid. It isn't. It is perfectly possible to say "I have no evidence to support either world view, but plenty of others do, and I would like to see more of that before coming to a decision on my own". Do I believe in the flying spaghetti monster? No. Why? Because I know exactly how it was conceived and why. Do I believe in the miracles the Catholic church claim for their saints and figureheads such as Jesus? Literally no fucking clue because I don't have primary source evidence. Could be true, could be bullshit. I'm not going to come down one way or the other without more evidence. Your argument that I _must_ feel one way or the other, and I'm lying if I don't, is not just lacking empathy, patronising and rude, it's philosophical nonsense.
