Because it doesn't create controversy or arguments, and that's what most people are here for. Just like on the political boards, it's all CONS and LIBS shouting at each other mindlessly.

I'm with you though, my fellow agnostic! I find most people who are 100% sure that there either is or is NOT a god to be arrogant jerks. The fact is, there is simply no way to know.
