<p>You can't just pick one area to apply your logic to because it's convenient.
I'm not sure anyone here still believes in the Cookie Monster, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. As for Allah and Shivah, they are religious beings, so if you're agnostic, you probably unsure of them. I know many agnostics that have never been interested in alchemy, tarot cards, or palm readings. </p>
<p>And, people can choose to apply logic in any situation they want. No one says because you apply logic to solve a math problem, you have to apply logic when discussing religion.</p>
<p>I think some of you are unclear on what atheism really is. It is not a nonbelief in a religious higher being, it is simply saying that you can't prove to me that God exists, so to me, maybe he doesn't exist. And agnosticism is sorta similar to atheism but also a little different. Agnosticism says that there is no absolute or certain proof that God exists so you can't prove it, but maybe he does exist...</p>
<p>The underlying argument behind atheism and agnosticism are the same, it's the conclusions that make them differ.</p>
