In may ways the agnostic position is really just a debating defense.
That's not the case for me. It is simply a reflection of my personal thoughts on the question of whether there is a God or not.
In my teen years I was an atheist and was convinced there could not possibly be a God.
As I moved into my twenties I decided it was arrogant to think I could know that with such certainty - but as I still saw no evidence for a God (especially the Judeo-Christian God) that left agnosticism as the only viable option.
I agree though with whoever mentioned earlier that in practical terms there is little, if any, difference between my being agnostic or atheist.
