How do agnostics live? (Introduction)

OK, I understand. There are things which you believe which you do not know as facts verified by scientific enquiry. I just wanted to check that you were not claiming to live on the basis of such facts alone. - May I ask whether your agnosticism is because of a lack of proof? Do you require a scientific kind of certainty? Or is this also an area where you are open to belief if the weight of evidence led you one way or the other? If it is the former, then you have closed off the possibility of ever changing from your agnosticism. If it is the latter, then maybe one day... - Two other points which you raise are worthy of separate threads, and I had and have in mind to pick them up from elsewhere in your essay in due course, namely:
1) Whether I can say "I know that there is a merciful God"
2) Morality without God
