Religion

The Resume

    Consider the existence of God to be unknown
    Some consider the existence of God inherently unknowable
    Term 'agnostic' coined by scientist Thomas Huxley (1869)

Why they might be annoying:

    Being agnostic is like voting 'undecided' on AmIAnnoying -- pick a side already!
    Like going 'I never said you definitely didn't exist' will keep a vengeful God from sending you to Hell.
    They usually get lumped together with atheists.
    They often come across as Atheists Lite.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They tend to be less dogmatic than either atheists or believers.
    Agnosticism will probably get you sentenced to a couple millenia fewer in Purgatory than full-blown atheism.
    Clarence Darrow said, 'I do not consider it an insult, but rather a compliment, to be called an agnostic. I do not pretend to know where many ignorant men are sure.'
