I know you want me. I would be a very desirable person to have in your ranks. I don't believe in a god. But unlike you, I don't know for certain.
All of you atheists need to look elsewhere for a devotee. If I were to join the likes of you, I'd be part of a religion as much as if I were a Catholic or Baptist. Because you don't believe, you think others who don't believe should band together, form a church of non-believers. I consider that to be as religious as attending services each week. Besides, your exuberance to believe that there is no god rivals those who proclaim faith in a god. You are so sure of yourself. How do you know? Have you seen no god?
Same goes for all of you agnostics. Like moderates and middle-of-the-road folks in politics, you can't quite decide which way to go, therefore you stay out of the fray and never really contribute anything to the discussion. There are those who say I belong in this group, but I don't. I believe there is no god, no bouncing back and forth for me. I just don't claim to be so all-knowing to say I'm 100% sure about it like the atheists.
Simply put, I do not want to be labeled regarding my non-beliefs. I do not believe, period. When friends ask what they should call me, I remind them of my name.

To characterize agnosticism as being unable to "decide which way to go" is to misunderstand its logic. Agnostics aren't indecisive, Cassandra. They're very wisely refraining from formulating an active believe in (or an active disbelief in) something that has no observable and verifiable truth or existence. Would that more human beings understood and followed this principle!
