Agnostics believe God can neither be proved nor disproved, until that proof is found, shouldn't everyone be an Agnostic?

I think much of the world's problems would be solved if they were. Agnosticism is open rational discussion, fairly weighing all evidence, and doesn't deal in the absolutism that Fundamentalists and Atheists do.

I don't think so. That's like saying everyone should be agnostic about the existence of Santa or the Easter Bunny. With a complete lack of proof, it is logical to claim that god is imaginary. You simply cannot prove a negative. But saying that means we should be agnostic about the existence of god means we should be agnostic about the existence of everything, including FSM.

It is believed that Leonardo da Vinci was an agnostic, and he is said to be one of the most intelligent men who ever lived (and, interestingly, he also painted one of the most famous Christian images in the world when he completed The Last Supper).
So if one is an agnostic, then I would say that he/she is in rather good company.

their are types of agnostics,
agnostic theism, which in case says that god cannot be proven or dis-proven until we die and see him
agnostic is simply that god will NEVER be known to either exist or not exist.
agnostic atheism, a belief that god does not exist without any proof
so their it is, many people are AA some are AT but i am A,
Agnostic Evan.

I disdain agnositics because of their wishy-washy-ness. The only thing worse are deists! Pick a side, dammit. I used to be an agnostic, but then I realized that that made me nothing. So I thought about it, and became an atheist. I suggest you do the same.

Explicit atheism offers many proofs of the nonexistence of god. Refute them, and I'd have to agree. But since proofs have been offered, until then I'll have to remain an atheist.

Absolutely. We Agnostics are the coolest.

Agnostic literally translates as "ignorant."
If you want to claim you believe in ignorance, that's your choice.
There is no credible evidence to support believing in "God," so why would anyone claim they are ignorant of that fact? You either believe there is evidence, or, you do not.

No God has proven Himself to me and I can rest in that.
