1: An agnostic is a person who believes that the existence of a greater power, such as a god, cannot be proven or disproved; therefore an agnostic wallows in the complexity of the existence of higher beings.
* e.g., ... Christian Zealot: God loves you and everyone. He will save you
[ "agnostic" ]
2: Agnostics on religion (Christianity, Islam, Buddhists, etc): Religious zealots are often viewed as ignorant by agnostics’ because of their blind following of a supreme being which may or may not exist. Agnostics will often question the existence of a supreme power because a lot of modern religious beliefs have no basis in modern logic; therefore blind following of popular religions is viewed as an easy out for people who chose not to think for themselves.
* e.g., ... Agnostic: Prove it.
[ "agnostic" ]
3: Agnostics on atheism: On the other end of the spectrum, unlike atheists, an agnostic uses a more scientific approach to their belief system. An agnostic knows that just because there is no physical proof of the existence of a higher being, it dose not automatically mean that one does not exist. An agnostic views an atheist on the same plane as a religious zealot; often because the belief that human beings are the pinnacle of intelligence and there are few things that we do not or have the potential to understand.
* e.g., ... Athiest: There is no way that a god can exist.
[ "agnostic" ]
4: The realization of knowing that “we cannot know everything” is the backbone of the agnostic belief.
* e.g., ... Agnostic: Prove it.

1: Someone who does not think there is enough evidence to prove or disprove God's existence. It's a valid viewpoint.
Some people say agnostics can't make up their mind or do their research on what to believe. I did my research on different religions and philosphical beliefs, and I made up my mind. And now I'm an agnostic. Deal with it.
Oh, and agnosticism isn't weak atheism. Atheism is believing that there is no God. You can be an agnostic athiest - one who doesn't believe in God. You can an agnostic deist - one who believes in a higher power. What you believe is different from what you know.
* e.g., ... An agnostic is someone who does not think there is enough evidence to prove or disprove God's existence.
