Correct me if I have misunderstood you on this.  From what I can
interpet, you were an agnostic because you were a coward.  You
couldn't believe in god, but didn't want to offend any god believers.
You also didn't want to risk going to hell in case it existed.  You
then assumed all other agnostics were like you.  Realizing that your
own personal views were crap, you then assumed that the personal views
of all other agnostics were also crap.  Does that about sum up your 43
years of agnosticism?
