Self-described agnostics often criticize atheism as an untenable position, because nobody has proof that God does or doesn't exist. Thus, they leave God's existence as an open question. But we make common-sense judgements all the time without proof. For example, nobody can prove that Santa Claus doesn't exist, but adults don't consider it an open question, on common sense grounds. Likewise, common sense suggests that every religion makes up its own idea of God (or gods) and none of them is likely to be true. Why do you still leave the question open?
Believers, please don't try to convince me that God exists. That's not the dialogue I want to have here, and I will ignore you.
