Can I get a dogma if I become an Agnostic and yell at people how they are "wrong"

You wouldn't yell at ANYONE about how "wrong" they are because, as an agnostic, your stance would be that no one could have definite proof one way or the other and therefore you couldn't possibly know for SURE if anyone is "wrong".
You get any holidays you want, Jim. You could even invent a few. Personally I think it's high time that the FSM gets it's own holiday, one recognized by schools and employers.
There is one dogma: that knowledge of god is unknowable or unatainable and no one will ever know for sure.

Absolutely! There is but ONE dogma: "I don't know for sure and, if you were honest with yourself, you'd admit that you don't really know either." It's that second half of our dogma that we use to really piss people off just like other people demand that we admit that there is no God or that we "get saved" or whatever else they insist is real when it's painfully clear that they really don't have a clue and are just posing.
As for holidays, I like to think that we have visitation rights for all of them. Don't forget the atheist holidays either! Past atheists can still celebrate Monkey Day on December 14! Black socialists can still celebrate Kwanzaa... err... wait. It's not really a religious "holiday" is it. Anyhow, agnostics can still celebrate it - even if you're not black!
Maybe that is one GREAT reward for being agnostic. You get to go to all these holidays if you can either get invited or manage to party crash. Yep. We're the obnoxious self-invited houseguests of holidays! YEAH!
But most of all, remember to gaurd your vacation time. Let your company or government go totally secular and the next thing you know is you've got no winter break or even a single day off in the summer! If religion keeps those bastards from taking away what little time we have to recuperate, then I say keep them thinking it's all about Jesus.

I have no dogma that I am aware of. I get the holidays that the federal government has given me.

Agnosticism is not a religion, nor even a belief system. It is the lack of belief and religion. Agnosticism is defined by its uncertainty. A typical agnostic: "I don't really think I believe in God or any gods but there might be a God or gods so I'll pray anyway to something." So you get nothing, dude.

Every day is a holiday when you're an agnostic/atheist - a holiday from insanity!

You get all the holidays. No dogma.
