Re: 'I'm agnostic'

DA
There is a difference between having something implicit in your belief system and making that same thing the center of your beliefs.

Yes? I suppose I'm just not seeing what it is about a self-evident statement that merits being the center of one's beliefs. Any god for whom the question of existence is a legitimate matter of contention is a god whose existence is an unfalsifiable assertion. I don't see anything particularly insightful about stating that one cannot have certain knowledge about the truth value of an unfalsifiable claim. From my perspective, the better question is, "Do we have any reason to give any serious consideration to the unfalsifiable claim in the first place?"

The difference is that you use the uncertainty as a safety net to avoid being wrong, while we actually embrace it.

To you, agnosticism is stating concrete beliefs, then shrugging at the end and saying "but I could be wrong," whereas for other people it means "there is no way to know, so I will embrace that and continue not knowing one way or the other."
