Genus homo,

It is refreshing to hear your kind and polite discourse.  In regards to your saying “…(agnostics say that theists retreat to the stance that:) God is unknowable and therefore faith and only faith can be persuasive in convincing an individual to believe that God exists. The problem with this argument is that the agnostic gives no allowance for the possibility that the believer is correct in asserting that God is unknowable…”

It is true that I do not give any allowance for theists’ use of the proposition that God is unknowable, as a viable scaffold for the belief in the existence of God.  However, for many decades of my life I did not rule that out. Most of my life I have been open to the possibility of the supernatural.  Only, eventually, the preponderance of my learning and experience led me to conclude that there is no such thing as the supernatural, including God, except as mental concepts.
