I thought Agnostic meant they "doubt" that God exists but doesn't "deny" His existence.
I don't really have an opinion on them.

So you like many others don’t know what you are talking or writing about in the first place.
70% of the worlds population is atheist - Buddhist. Buddhism is NOT a religion but a philosophy of life and a very good one at that. Stupid people what to change what religion really is to try and make Buddhism seem like a religion since they can not stand that fact that they are wrong!
Religion IS a mental sickness and everyone who believes in any religion in any way are in fact mentally sick.
Being religious does automatically means a person is mentally sick. But being an atheist does not automatically mean a person is mentally healthy. They are just have a better chance to be mentally healthy.
Contrary to the religious psychology position religionist are deluded and are psychotic. Religion is a delusion. Making up a rationalization does not change reality. But the religionist does not live in reality.
Giving up the childish belief in religion and gods place the responsibility for one life on the person without any excuses. No more cowardly copouts. For all religionist are cowards. The can’t do something for themselves so they call on god to do to it for them (prayer).
I have nothing against the religious. Some of my best friends are religious. (sorry I just had to reverse that one)
Check out “the case against religion a psychotherapist’s view” and “The case against religiosity” by Dr. Albert Ellis PhD.

Okay, let's clarify something here. An ATHEIST is one who doesn't believe in god. An Agnostic is better described as someone who believes that there is SOMETHING out there (above us, if you will), but is not willing to go along with a standard definition of what, who, or how many, there might be.
It could be your definition, it could be my definition, or it could be something beyond anyone's experience. I, for one, have no problem with a person who wants to make up their own mind about who or what is watching over us. I also think it's none of your business what somebody else's spiritual beliefs (or lack thereof) are.

Actually, agnostic people are unsure if there is a God, I think you're talking about atheists, atheists don't believe that there is a God at all. Well, they are entitled to their own opinion.

Agnostic means they don't know. Show them how God is working in your life. Atheists don't believe. Talking with them will probably get you an argument. They want to shake God's hand in order to believe.

my opinion on them is that they are like me because i am agnostic, to label myself correctly im actually atheist
im no fan of labels
i just now it makes no real logical sense that there is this "god"
in the same sense as people mean
anyway
its athiest
agnostic means they dont know for sure
have no proof EITHER way
and if you want my honest opinion,
they have more ability to see both sides and logic more than religious people because religion is tainted with bias and hearsay and judgements
and are usually much more accepting of other and all people and different kinds of things, less judgmental on people although not entirely judgemental-less so to speak
not saying they are perfect just more able to see other people sides,listen to other peoples views and change their own if they get info to suggest they should
