I'll just say that I don't think a true agnostic can get excited about the absence or presence of God, because an agnostic as I understand it is simply saying he or she doesn't see a compelling argument one way or the other.

As a "true agnostic" I will tell you why it is something to get excited about. Given that (I believe, given what I know) we can't know fundamentally whether there is a god or not, that greatly affects my metaphysical relationship with existence. If I absolutely knew there was a god, or absolutely knew there wasn't a god I would be living under slightly different premises. Of course, the problems of the absurdity of existence aren't answered in any scenario, in fact, it would just be an added layer of absurdity to deal with. The mystery of not knowing is a very important ingredient in my life for dealing with existing.
