Our limited human consciousness & experience cannot begin to comprehend the reality of existence & non existence, for the ultimate reality is beyond such duality, which we must use for our language to function. So arguments about 'god's" existence or non existence are futile, because reality may do both at once.

Speaking of once, our notion of time is also a function of our limited experience. See Einstein's General & Special Theories of Relativity. Eternity is not a vast amount of time. Eternity happens in the now. It is a function of consciousness.. We cannot really separate time from our consciousness of it, at least from our limited prespective..

I like your use of the term "ignostic". If this use is not simply a typo, it conveys a snide putdown of agnosticism. But agnostics, although they may deliberately decline to make a decision about things they do not , & perhaps cannot, understand, do not glorify ignorance. To admit & embrace ignorance is the road to truth, or at least increased understanding. We agnostics practice "ignosticism" deliberately.

They have an old saying in the East (I think it's the East side of Manhattan), "Those who say do not know: those who know do not say".The ultimate truth is ineffable, as our language creates duality, so the ultimate things can't be known or spoken. What is up is not down. What is black is not white. etc.

It is said those who have attained real spiritual insight, called enlightenment in Buddhism, experience the void, which is not nothingness but the a powerful revelation which is beyond duality & so can't be spoken. It is like the brightness at the center if a nuclear blast, so powerful our eyes & cameras can't record it, so it appears to be nothing.

This concept may be another religious fairy tale. Just because we would like to believe something doesn't mean it is true. But I think we should be very careful of anyone who says they know the true nature of existence.

There are solopsists who really believe they are the only entity that exists & everything & everyone else is just a figment of their own imagination. That way lies madness, or at least collossal ignorance, a failure to communicate, & egotism. Most of us (if all you folks out there really exist) have the humility to believe our petty ego did not create the universe & something we really don't understand is happening here

There are plenty of indication the "gods" of various cultures are human inventions based upon wish fulfillment. The wish for a protective parent, the wish for justice in human affairs, the wish to believe in life after death, & many other wishes have created "god". But reason does not tell us "god" does not exist, as the Atheists so glibly claim. Something is happening here, & facile religious interpretations of what "god" is doesn't seem to cover the bases. But if "god" doesn't exist, what does exist, or not exist.

We realize our notions of existence & non-existence are based on the duality of our language. It's very hard for us humans to wrap our heads around the notion that something can exist & non exist at the same time. & by the way, does time both exist & not exist based upon consciousness or unconsciousness

@Remiforce Reason is a perfect method to reach the conclusion that god does not exist. You probably have read “The God Delusion” by Richard Dawkins, and if you have not then I highly recommend it. He presents an excellent argument that reaches the conclusion that a god like the Christian one, cannot exist.

Just because something feels good doesn't mean it is good. Heroin feels very good at first but can destroy your life. Atheism , with it's glib assertion that "god" doesn't exist, brings quick & easy closure, just as the religious fairy tales do. "Ah, at last I know the real answer". But it is an opiate, just as Lenin said about religion. You may have to get out of the warm bath of divine solace, but at least you have an easy , understandable answer.

Real Agnostics are willing to bear the pain of uncertainty & start on the hard, uncertain journey toward understanding. Not all Agnostics are real. Some are just crypto Atheists who are too cowardly to come out with their beliefs & choose to stay in the closet of pretending doubt. But to my mind, the Real Agnostics are Spiritual Heros.

By the way, I don't believe the apocrophal story of an Atheist suicide bomber blowing up 20 Agnostics in Stockholm.

@Remiforce Sorry, but to me it sounds like you have just replaced one religion with other. I have no problem with agnosticism, like I said I was one, but you just seem to be preaching to the choir. Many of us that identify as atheists spent years researching beliefs and comparing them with conclusions we had drawn. The last thing I need is somebody talking down to me about what I should believe.

Good for you. Neither do I. We people who don't know should get together & share our doubt. The symbol of Agnosticism should be the question mark "?"

Occam's razor, if something is not necessary, don't posit it. If the universe exists, assuming it does & is not just a figment of my imagination, but then what is "I" & then do "I" really exist, then something is happening here. "God" may be the pantheistic nature of existence, or it may be the Spinozan-Einstinian notion of the sum of the laws of the universe. But something is happening & we don't know what it is. But the wise don't confuse their minds with fairy tales about "god" They have the courage to take their reality "straight up".
