what has faith got to do with anything, other than it being used as a reasonable alternative to not being provided with evidence?

if a god exists, then it wouldn't need faith from its followers to continue existing. it would just be.

Second, by now, every possible (and decent) argument has been made for/against the existence of a God. Nothing better is going to come down the line with the next IKEA catalouge.
are you suggesting that a god would be swedish (and flat packed)?

this point hints on the purpose of agnosticism. you say every possible arguement has been made..... well clearly the one pivotal arguement, the definitive one HAS NOT.

for why? the limitations of the human mind! cue agnosticism.

Hence, agnostics are too "wishy-washy" to have "faith" in either possibility. And there is no way more conclusive evidence is ever going to be arrived at, IMHO.
you think atheists require faith? surely they are the epitome of being faithless no? ie I see no god, therefore there is no god.
