That's precisely why I'm an agnostic as opposed to an atheist. I've posted myself blue in the face with regard to my contention that there is no such thing as an agnostic theist. It's a contradiction in terms in my opinion. | Well I myself thought about that for awhile skepti, and realized I was reading too much into the label. While the Agnostic part says you are admitting you do not have the knowledge on the matter, the Theist part only speaks to a belief and not something anyone is claiming to have knowledge of. So while I will be the first to admit I don't have all the answers, I can also say that I 'believe' in something. It's less contradictary than it seems really.
