Atheologian

I'll admit, we are all, in truth, agnostic, as NONE of us know if God exists or not. Sure, there are opinions either way, and most people either believe in God or they don't, but the firm agnostic simply has the attitude, "I don't know, and you don't either." While this is a pretty honest approach, it's the equivelent of not jumping in the pool because it could be hot, or it could be cold. Well, if you aren't going to swim, don't tell us how the water feels, because you don't know. If your position is simply, "I don't know, and neither do you," what business do you have offering any input in a discussion? Do we really need someone standing off to the side, saying, "I don't know, we'll never know," and limiting conversation? I understand you view it as a logical approach to the issue, and it is, but if our attitude, as thinkers and explorers, was always "I don't know, I'll never know", we wouldn't be very clever as a species, now would we? It's not the lack of opinion or idea that advances us as human beings, it's the pursuit of the mysterious and unknown. So, what would your opinion be, if we were searching for God? What kind of things could you offer to a theistic debate?
