Lazs, I think you feel threatened by the calm, self assured lack of belief folks like me have. Lashing out at that 'threat' is a natural reaction, but something you should be able to avoid as a thinking, rational being.
The 'intellectually dishonest' phrase you keep rolling out is as worn as the leather on my busted wallet, and about as structurally sound. Why does lack of belief in a god irritate you so much? Is it perhaps that you:
A: consider yourself rational
B: have a belief that can't be explained through evidence
and
C: there are other folks who, by choosing not to believe, make you worried that you may not be as rational as you think you are?
It's like the person who thinks of themself as a liberal who finds themselves talking with a communist and feels threatened by someone who has taken the belief even further. Or a person who thinks that they're super conservative who talks to a fascist, and sees someone who's even more "extreme"?
Agnosticism is a fine, wish-washy way of saying "Well, I want to cover my bases, _just in case_". I'm not agnostic about the Easter Bunny (I don't light a candle for him _just in case_ he exists), I just don't think it's real. Same with teh god.
What's the difference? And why do you lash out so much?
