I believe that science has pretty much debunked the existence of a higher being or God....but there are still unexplained phenomena in this world and God MAY be a possible explanation for it. If there is a God, I don't believe he/she/it has a bible, or a Koran, or any form of literature. If there is a God, I believe he'd judge my heart, and not the amount of faith I have. If he was our creator, then he obviously created us to have free will, and to be objectionable. I don't think that we should all be condemned for doing something that he created us to do. Or maybe there is no God but its a bunch of people that are already dead and your "afterlife fate" is decided upon by your peers. Who knows? Its interesting to think about. Sometimes, I'm afraid of death.....other times, I can't wait to see what awaits on the other side. It would kind of suck if it were nothing. Atheists believe that its nothing. It makes more sense than a heaven or hell, I'll give them that.But, when it comes to punishment, of course you must talk of hell also. I believe that if there is a God and a Devil, and if bad deeds must be punished, then they should be punished....but not for eternity. I mean, you don't chop someone's arm off just because they stole your pencil. I think that if there is a punishment, then you are punished until you learn your lesson. I also think that if there is a hell, then its not fire and brimstone and burning, blah blah blah. I think it would be all of your worst fears all put into one. For me, my hell would be: me locked in a pitch-black, cold room...covered in spiders, scorpions, and zombies.Yup.....I also believe that reincarnation is a definite possibility. There are so many people in this world, that as soon as one dies, one is born.....do you think that is the same soul starting over? Its a possibility.

The ONLY specific belief for a true agnostic is that whether or not there is a Supreme Being is unknowable.

Agnostics are the ones who have usually studied both religion and science, and have determined that neither can determine the greatest questions of life. So there is no 'belief...'

Truthfully or theoretically?
Truthfully, an agnostic is a person who was originally a theist but was hurt by trusting in God. ---- Or hurt by someone who claimed to represent God. (Catholic School, Bubba Preacher, or Holier than thou parent).
An agnostic can regain his belief, yes I said regain his belief, by simply throwing out all of Paul's letters called books in the Bible.
Now Simply read only the words of Jesus.
Agnostics are created by Religious Empires who worship Paul and Peter instead of listening to the Words of Jesus.
(I bet you have never heard the above approach. Cause, I just thought of it as I was typing.)

Epistomology is important---that is, how you know something, and why you believe it, is as important as what you actually believe.
Not everything everyone tells you is true. Things that you were taught as a child are not necessarily more accurate than things you learn or discover for yourself as an adult.
Observation of reality and critical thought are the best approaches to truth.

Agnosticism - The belief that the existence of God is not knowable. The word is derived from the negative a combined with the Greek word gnosis which means knowledge. Hence, agnosticism is the belief that God cannot be known.

That it is impossible to know if there is a greater being and no-one will ever know until death.
