Atheists claim that God does not exist. This goes against everything man has learned about his "soul", or "spirit" and the natural world around us. In a discussion of the nature of God, does an Atheist have anything useful to say? How can you comment on something you don't believe, therefore...
if the discussion led to a position of God being just as real, in the minds of the believers, as if he were a physical manifestation? Would you agree, as an agnostic, not as a theist, that it was true?
Understand I'm NOT trying to insult agnostics. I think people are more likely to admit a given position if motivated. If the topic were, Should athiests shut up about God, since they don't believe?, it would be the atheists in here insulting me for being a religious zealot.

lol, while i agree, I think we can't just call it nonsense. Theists have moved God to the realm of the intangible. Like I was saying in the last post, we can't deny he exists philosophically. So, as an agnostic, would you be more likely to to argue that a philosphical god is just as real as a...

I think I've got my answer. Agnostics refuse to stick to the topic, instead professing how much noone knows. What would they have to say in a theistic debate? Not much.
ONCE AGAIN, the point of the question is not to determine whether anyone knows if GOD exists. PLEASE READ THE WHOLE TOPIC. I am interested in knowing whether not having an opinion either way can be useful in a discussion. Don't just get angry and start throwing insults, tell me what you would...
I am not talking about having proof.
You guys are so upset that someone pointed out your position, you're ignoring the question. I never said you should be ashamed of not knowing, or claim to know anything you don't. What I'm asking, is if you believe you have anything to say in a discussion of...
This isn't about claiming to know anything. It's about offering an opinion one way or another.
I fail to see how having an opinion automatically makes someone pompous and deluded.
