Many of them are in a transitional phase. It's not like they can be a Christian one Sunday, and wake up Monday morning, and be an atheist. This phase from believing in God to the realization that there certainly isn't a God could take years.

Right on. Agnostics like me enjoy questions. Wish we would get some more.
I think the view is the best from up here on the fence. Its more like a comfortable wall though. I don't think agnostics have to jump off one side or the other but are free to visit either side whenever we wish for as long as we wish. I must say however that the Atheist side of the wall is much less Looney-Tunes

No one attacks agnostics because agnostics do not fit the mold of the opposition. Agnostics don't pick a side in a fight about non-verifiable entities because there is no conclusive proof on either side of the fence.
The atheist/Christian debate is a bulletless gunfight. Because no one can be right, no one can be wrong, and no one has anything to lose. Yet, both sides can indulge in self-righteous pontification and snide accusation to their heart's content.
If you want to "grow a pair," venture into the grey area. Live in the question.

lol Jim, I grew a pair already, around 14/15!
aherm, anyway
how can you pick a side when there is no concrete evidence for either?
that would seem ludacrous, given the lack of evidence either way
all I would suggest is that it's more logical that some deity does not exist given the lack of evidence...but hey, that does not make it a certified fact
but if some kind of higher being(s) do exist, I very much doubt that it was the God I was raised to believe in
some things are just presently beyond our comprehension
until we get more answers, I'll stay neutral thanks

First, I would recommend that you learn exactly what it means to be Agnostic. It does not mean that we haven't made up our minds or that we're sitting on the fence. Agnosticism is the belief that, whatever the truth is, it is unknown and, in fact, unknowable. The human mind is too limited to grasp the fundamental questions of who? and why?
Secondly, your "question" wasn't a question. It was a statement

No body ever picks on the fence straddlers--
Except for the election of Gore vs. Bush, where because people were groaning about their crappy choices, and wanting to vote third party, they were called the "mushy middle"..
Even Richard Dawkins is more agnostic, he says there is "most likely, no God"... most scientists, I'd dare say are, they admit they "don't know", it's unscientific to say you know anything for certain.

I like being open to every side and not closing my mind to one way of thinking. Same reason why I am politically an independant.

You're right. People don't pick on agnostics here but so what if they're not sure. What is that to us?

There are many sides for some reason people think there is only two...Christianity and Atheism

To refrain from making a choice is a choice.
