A reaction to some comments by Ed Babinski
Why should one believe that someone who ends up in a skeptical position with respect to Christianity is someone who is "has more questions" than someone who is a Christian. Agnosticism is sometimes one of my biggest allies as a Christian. The atheist says that if I don't KNOW who God permitted this, that, or the other evil, that this is proof that God does not exist. I may reply that I don't KNOW why the evil was permitted; it might be this, it might be that, it might be none of the above, why should I be expected to know. In this debate the atheist claims he has all the answers, the theist is open to all sorts of maybes and we're not sures.

There are two types of agnostics: those that are asking questions and looking for answers, and those who say that the questions can't be answered. The latter, it seems, has disposed of his or her questions just as much as the one who believes the questions have an answer. The mere presence of questions is no great virtue unless there is some real effort that will produce answers in the future.
