Fine but no need to lump agnostics in with atheists like that.

Atheists hold the laughably absurd position that they've searched the entire Universe and found no deity, therefore there is none. Declaring the "factuality" of that negative is ridiculous, and I ridicule them freely every chance I get.

Agnostics simply honestly admit they don't KNOW about the metaphysical, spiritual, or supernatural realm; or if it even makes sense to discuss something that has no concrete definition, like God. To many, "A being who exists outside the universe of everything that exists" doesn't actually make logical sense; they are a type of agnostic called "ignostic".

IMHO everyone who has ever lived has been agnostic; they didn't and don't actually KNOW whether a deity exists; they instead believe without having direct knowledge, which is called faith. If they had direct knowledge, faith would be unnecessary.

Like we have no "faith" in the existence of trees. We just look outside, and there they are. We have direct KNOWLEDGE about their existence, so there are no tree agnostics, no tree atheists, no tree faithful.

Agnostics and ignostics like me respect goodhearted religious folks and staunchly defend their right to practice their faith and spirituality in any way they see fit, as encoded in the First part of the First Amendment to our Constitution. Since we don't pretend to "know there is no deity" as the ridiculous atheists do, we keep an open mind. What if there is one? We never denied it, so He can't get too mad for our use of our God-given logic and reason in considering the topic. That would make Him irrational and unjust.
