that agnosticism is the refusal to choose?we don't not choose we just choose to believe in the facts. And the fact is that there is no evidence for gods existance and none for his non-existance

Agnosticism literally means "lack of knowledge." Ignorant people don't know this so when they see the word "agnostic" they apply their own spin to it.
Agnosticism doesn't have to apply solely to religion. I can be agnostic about the existence of a Denny's restaurant on the surface of Pluto. All that means is i don't know for sure that there is or isn't a Denny's at the very edge of our solar system.
Further more, one can be Agnostic and Atheist, or Agnostic and Theist at the same time. One deals with knowledge, the other deals with belief. I consider myself an Agnostic Atheist. This means that i admit i don't have sufficient knowledge to prove definitively that there is or isn't a god, but i lack the belief that there is a god based on the knowledge i DO have. If someone is able to provide good evidence for the existence of god, i am open to believing, but i require evidence first.

The existence of God is Faith by choice. if you are agnostic, and there is no evidence either way - then you are undecided.
You choose to believe in God - you will not likely get any hard evidence.

I choose to believe in God yet I will not disagree with the fact that there are no physical facts to prove that he exists.

If the asker chooses to believe in just the 'facts'; that is the asker's choice. God wants christians to walk by faith, not by sight (facts). (2 Cor. 5:7).

Not to bother you, but do you not consider the existance of *anything* to be indicative of a prime mover?

Its not. It is the confusion of choosing, not a choice not to.

O ye of little faith...
So you have no faith in anything right? Faith is believing without seeing and if you need facts in order to believe in something, then you have no faith. What a sad way to live...

god is like the grown-up's version of fairy tale... and heaven is the adult's knight in shinning armor that will rescue them from the torments of this world...
