A note on being an "agnostic atheist"

I've addressed the religion topic somewhat totally earlier. Here, I'd just like to further clarify conclusions from that post, and be a little more blunt. As far as there possibly being a "the God" beyond everything, this cannot be ruled out completely.. ever. So at this point, some theists find it perfectly fine to rest their case. But that's bullshit. You see, there's no problem in just stating there may be a God, but a problem does arise when you begin to describe and define (through its actions) this God. For instance, to say "he" created the world and the Universe in 6 days... is bullshit. To say he created Adam and Eve and no dinosaurs - bullshit. You may at this point say it's symbolic, but then who determines a correct interpretation? If you can just choose to interpret it differently with each period, surely one can do that for other creation stories. In terms of creation tales, the Judeo-Christian one is not even the most plausible, or right. So, before saying "checkmate atheists", perhaps a little honesty about what your religion is about is in order, at which point it fails miserably. This is all AFTER you can get over the fact that the tales were written a little under 3000 years ago and promoted through less than holy politics and wars through the ages.
That's enough on addressing the theists. To the atheists out there, it is equally important that in being honest about the situation, one has to conclude that there could be something outside of the known universe that is both odd and accounts for why "all of this" is here. That may be possible. But, that point shouldn't matter. I don't see why one has to always go to the ends of our knowledge at any moment of time in debating these fake fuck wads (not referring to all theists, just the arrogant, militant ones. Militant Atheists are a bit fuck wadish as well). Their religion makes certain claims as far as science goes, and these are ridiculously untrue. They can then go to the moral teachings, but there too, killing other tribes in the name of God seems to be fine in certain instances, reducing the status of women as well seems ok.... but no God who "created" or planned all of this would conclude like this. We piddly mortals already know how we are so much more equal both as sexes and races on account of our genetics and the functioning of our brains. No true God would ever say it's "correct" to kill other people who are just like you. An omniscient God who is so pathetically myopic? Really?
Lastly, there's no need for atheists to be militant. You just need to state the facts, and contrast that with the claims and origins of other faiths. That's it. Their days are numbered anyway, for there isn't a way out in a digital age where information is readily accessible. As more young people grow up in a society that's unshackling itself more intensely from the stupid and unwarranted customs of old, all these unfounded craplings will find their way in the sewer of history. Hate to be mean, but it's .. pretty much how it's going to be, as far as I can see it. But hey, I could be wrong. So cheer up Theists! Just believe I have no arguments, have blind faith in me being irrational... and you're done. Just do the usual.
