Very true. I think many people are "passively religious". That is - they're religious in that they believe that god exists and they go to church, etc., but in the end it is not something that their daily life hinges on.
To me, an agnostic is someone who has some serious doubts about what the heck is going on, but instead of taking that final step and saying "I don't believe", they choose to simply say "we cannot know". Well, of course we cannot know.
I agree John, we've (the PPOT collective) tried this thread many times and usually fail to pull it off. This has been a good one. Too bad we're spread all over the world - I'd take you up on a Sam Adams and buy stuartj a Fosters or nine. :>)
