I agree, I think you might've overreacted a bit, but if your experience with agnosticism has been negative that is understandable. Agnostic is a pretty general term though, most agnostics seem to have different reasons for and different resulting beliefs. Generally we just believe in "the possibility of something else." I'm not hedging my bets, I just have hope. Maybe its selfish or silly, but I don't want this lifetime to be my only one, there is so much I won't get to experience. So hopefully there is reincarnation, or at least a super awesome heaven. Like you've said though, we haven't found the evidence for it, doesn't mean it isn't there though. Perhaps we just haven't looked in the right place (try that rock over there!) or our minds still just can't comprehend it. I don't know of any agnostics who try and convert or push their ideals onto others, so why let it bother you? I don't care what you do as long as you don't insult me (which you did unintentionally so no harm really), or try and make me like you. Its just all about the hope for me.
