BURDEN OF PROOF. What you are talking about is weak atheism, not agnosticism. "Agnosticism is the philosophical view that the truth value of certain claims — particularly theological claims regarding the existence of God, gods, or deities — is unknown or inherently unknowable. Some agnostics take a stronger view that the concept of a deity is incoherent, thus meaningless and irrelevant to life."
Weak atheism is not a belief, and is not anywhere near the same as strong atheism, the belief that god does not exist. Weak atheism is not a belief but in fact a lack of belief due to a lack of rational evidence. Weak atheism is the rational default for the position you were advocating unless you somehow have rational proof that it is impossible to prove the existence of god, which is highly unlikely. Although, since religious zealots don't know anything, weak atheism is often confused with agnosticism.
Alright Korf, watch this YTMND again, and reread what you said. People here are making ytmnds saying "GOD (doesnt) EXIST FOR THESE REASONS,) whereas most of it is speculation and rationalization without facts. What this YTMND was stating was that "If you don't have any concrete proof for either, then there's no way that you're going to prove it, and should therefore, shut the hell up." Atheism advocates that "God doesnt exist, period," What this ytmnd is advocating is that we can't prove it either way.
Moreover, you define weak atheism as "a lack of belief due to a lack of rational evidence." Didn't you say in your little excerpt from wikipedia that "Some agnostics take a stronger view that the concept of a deity is incoherent, thus meaningless and irrelevant to life." Now, if the concept of a diety is incoherent, wouldn't agnostics have "a lack of belief due to a lack of rational evidence?" Way to make yourself sound like an idiot.
