How could it be wrong? I'm agnostic, simply because I'm not willing to state as a fact that a god doesn't exist somewhere in the universe. We are only one planet in one little tiny corner of one of billions of galaxies, and for me to conclude that there absolutely isn't a god, every shred of evidence in the universe would have to be examined. That's not possible. That being said, however, I also understand that no evidence has been brought forth that supports the existence of any type of god, so I am quite content to say that "I don't know...and neither do you."

I consider myself agnostic, so obviously I do not "think it's wrong"! I am agnostic for the reason that I do not KNOW whether or not God exists. I had religious exposure in childhood and adolescence, so my agnosticism results from my having rejected organized religion after much thought and reading and from the fact that the existence of a creative deity is unprovable. I am not an atheist for the reason that I think that the nonexistence of God is equally not provable, although atheists claim that the proof is the burden of those who believe that God exists rather than that he/she does not. I think that both theism and atheism depend upon beliefs, and I am incapable of believing, thus, I am an agnostic.

I am a nonpracticing Christian but I feel everyone is entitled to his or her opinion. Being agnostic is not wrong. Agnosticism means one does not know whether God exists, and certainly most agnostics I know and respect searches for the truth. In fact, I used to be agnostic until my parents convinced me to convert to my ancestral relgion of Christianity.

Agnostic here. But not associated with any religion. All forms of organized religion are wrong.

Agnostic here! Welcome to the fence-sitter's club!!!
As you guess, I'm very okay with it...
You see, religion is irrationnal, full of contradictions and based on rigid laws that are meant to be forever, but don't age very well like women's rights or Freedom's charts. Plus, you can't put God under a microscope or find him/her with a telescope... and let's not talk about the people hearing voices.
On the other hand: Science can't prove God doesn't exist. 1) It's not possible to prove that something that doesn't exist... doesn't exists. 2) If God made the universe so science can't find him, there's not much you can do about it.
So, either God exists and won't show himself in a definite and undeniable way. Or God is the product of the human mind to balance out the fear of death and lack of comprehension of the universe.
Except death sucks if there is no afterlife, so why not keep your fingers' crossed?

I'm Agnostic. It just means that we have the intelligence to see that anything is possible, and at the same time no one has absolute proof...so no one can say for sure who is right. Unil someone has better proof, I'm not going to declare anyone right.

How can we know if being agnostic is really wrong?
Where is the proof? Can we really Know?

You cannot prove that there is a god, nor can you prove that there isn't....
I don't think it's a bad religion... I think our country should be run on agnosticism, and not christianity.
Everyone should just learn to respect others beliefs...whatever they are.

I believe it is just fine as an interim until you finally decide on your personal beliefs
