Sounds like you're arguing for atheism.
My agnostic stance is that the existence or non-existence of god is based on information I have no access to. Generally, this feels like atheism. In any event, I find it absurd to live in terms of whether or not god exists. If there is an afterlife, I have no access to it now, what matters is my life now and the choices I make. Living towards an afterlife is absurd on multiple levels - the idea of heaven and hell and living for god's love is absurd (so why did god create us to love him, why does he punish people?). What is the meaning of living in an afterlife - eternal happiness does not have meaning inherent in itself, it is just hedonism. Living in hell is just as meaningless as living in heaven, they're both termed as affective experiences only (love and pain). Not that living alone in the face of a vast universe isn't absurd, but it doesn't include a leap of faith and the negation of the present life for a second one that may or may not exist and still doesn't really grant meaning to life. And the absurdity of infinity...
I could go on and on. I'm an agnostic because the question of the existence of god is a moot question for me.
