Yes it is the best choice, Your letting go of dogma, and restrictions of other beliefs that ask you to conform, some say your just sitting on a fence or that you need to believe in something, or you'll fall for anything. Not true. I've been agnostic for years, and let me tell you I Sleep better at night.
let everyone else fight there own fight or lose sleep over whether there is or isn't a god.. when you believe anything is possible. then when it happens. its not as shocking. Because when your shocked its because you foundout what you know or thought you knew was totally wrong. thats my conclusion,

Possibly, but keep firmly to words of greek origin.
Greek derived: "I'm an agnostic"
Latin equivalent: "I'm an ignoramus."
If you don't close your mind to anything, how can you exclude the possibility that agnosticism is *not* the best choice?
For example if there IS a judging God who sends you to hell for your failure to have faith. (I'm not saying there is, in fact I think there isn't, but by your own argument, you can't rule anything out..?)
Of course, the above logic might not be right, but if you're agnostic about it, could it just be?
Sorry, I don't think agnosticism offers a "get out of jail free" card, unless you have really worked through all its implications. Shouldn't you be against all trials, for a start?

Well I'm a Freethinker/Agnostic/Humanist. What's logical to one person isn't logical to another person. That's a decision that you have to make for yourself and by yourself. Anyway I guess you can say that we are levelheaded and fairminded and openminded towards all of the different possibilities and beliefs of others. Peace!!!!!!!!

Well, it is the best choice for us (Agnostics.) But, I can understand why others think the way they do.

While I am agnostic myself, being evangelical about being agnostic, like you are doing, seems crazy. Being agnostic is about being open-mined and tolerant, so why can't you be tolerant of other people's choices to be something besides agnostic?

i see where you're coming from.... certainly makes more sense than some of the really religeous people that think black and white: "i'm right, your wrong, and worship my god or your going to burn in hell!" (that gets old fast)

or it could be that you just can't make up your minds, either ;)
Seriously, if it works for you, that's all that matters.
