You are the one who keeps using the "there are so many religions, I can't choose one" argument. I'm saying that it is more than likely that, were that true, the deity would forgive those with humility, since most religions teach that their gods have a threshold of forgiveness.

I don't remember any such link.

Possibly, but maybe my God is the same god as other religions follow.

What about other factors, such as the demands most religions place on their believers? Agnostics are not subject to such pointless hindrances. And do you realise that we have strayed from the original point?

Agnostics do not hold the answers, however. They simply hold postulations. Ones with no base, at that.
