I once read that an agnostic is taking the easy way out - you don't believe in God but just in case he wants to fry you in hell because you don't, then maybe you do believe.
I think that's unfair, because I believe I am an Agnostic atheist lol. I don't believe in God, for many of the reasons exposed here (and some personal ones, derived from experiences in my life), but I play with the idea that I would like it if there was one...Although at this point in my life, and having lived through certain events that I will not bore you with here, if there was such an entity, I would be too angry/disappointed with "It" to truly be happy knowing the truth...

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
