    I have no solid evidence that leperchauns don't exist either. It's really making me question my stands on existential issues.

    not really - an agnostic stands nothing to lose by adopting practices established by paths of theism that bear a synchronicity with their already existing ideals - like for instance adopting a vegetarian diet is very beneficial for a buddhist, and adopting such a practice or similar practices could pave the way for establishing further resolution on the issue of transcendence and recycling

    Agnosticism is nothing to do with "belief".

    It is to do with whether one holds that there is sufficient knowledge on whether god(s) exist or not, or whether such things are even knowable in the first place.
    It is an entirely epistemological stance.

    It is not that they are unsure of whether they believe in God or not - that is theism or atheism.

    I, for example, am an agnostic atheist, as I know many atheists here are.

    They are points along two separate matters.

    given that no one has drunk the ocean of knowledge completely, you have a belief, ie one believes that it is not possible to know or not know god.

    Avoidin the issue of belief is ridiculous, since one can believe that it is possible to not have a belief - the nature of being conscious is that there is no avoiding the nature of belief, since it underrides all epistemological premises
