An agnostic may struggle with a never ending impulse to simply choose a side, especially over one of life's most profound questions, such as is there a God. I have spent much of my life struggling with whether or not I believed in God. And still, after years of soul searching, reasoning, reflecting, and searching, after years of being told that I take things too seriously, that I need to lighten up, that the truth will set me free, I still simply do not know. But it is not that I haven't found answers. I don't know what people mean when they utter that word, and I don't know what it means to say I believe in It.
Beliefs are human.
The word 'God' is human. But whatever the word 'God' represents is something more than human. Religious beliefs are composed of words, symbols, commandments, and myths meant to express God, but by definition a human expression of God will fall short of Him, because He is beyond expression. Religious beliefs are grossly simplified expressions of God in order that they may be easily understood by as many people as possible. They are a starting point, a basic foundation, to bring people to God, but they are not God, they are not perfect.
