Do you agree or disagree and why?
I believe agnosticism is not a "third way" alternative to Theism/Atheism etc. I believe Agnosticism is more about knowledge(knowing for a fact, which in the God issue is impossible) than disbelief or belief where as Theism/Atheism are. I think Agnosticism is compatible with Theism is compatible with Theism/Atheism etc.
-Examples-
Agnostic Theist- A person believing in God(or polytheists-Gods) without claiming to know for sure whether God(s) exist.
Agnostic Atheist- A person disbelieving in God(s) without claiming to know for sure whether no God(s) exist.
Also, Doesnt the burdan of proof make us all Agnostic in some way?

atheism bargains with the perception that no larger being or ability exists agnosticism bargains with the perception that the life or nonexistence of a larger being or ability is unknowable besides there aren't any dogmas in agnosticism or atheism dogma has to to with doctrine suchs because the bible or the qu'ran besides i'm agnostic through how in case you opt for to study more desirable about atheism basically form in atheism wikipedia and for agnosticism form in agnosticism wikipedia and there you'll study more desirable about both

You're getting there. Agnostic atheist -- no belief in a god and further says we CAN'T know the supernatural. Agnostic theist -- belief in a god and says we CAN'T know the supernatural. Obviously, claiming to believe in something you believe you can't believe in is truly absurd.
Nothing's there. It's all a creation of primitive men.

i agree with what you're saying although you are failing to realize that some agnostics are in the middle where as they are not agnostic atheist or agnostic theist some are just agnostics if you want to know more about agnosticism just type in agnosticism wikipedia and there it breaks it down beautifully

The question goes back to can we know something with 100% certainty. It is my contention that we can know many things with a high degree of certainty but not 100%. Still the evidence for the existence of a god is incredibly weak.
However not making a choice is still a valid choice.

I think agnostic atheist is redundant. Same as weak atheist. Strong atheist claims belief of nonexistence.

Well expressed. I tend to think along similar lines, which is no doubt why I think it's well expressed.

The proof is there if you look for it.
