I actually find it pretty easy:


* I can't tell for sure whether there is a supreme something or not, or 
what its nature is, and I suspect that it is impossible to known for 
sure. Therefore, whatever my personal current belief on this matter may 
be, it may be wrong.


something, nor try to prove what its nature is, neither to yourself nor 
to anyone else.


believe in a supreme something or not, or what they believe its nature 
to be.


fear ponder alone or discuss in groups whether there is a supreme 
something or not, or what its nature is, within the limits imposed by 



fear follow any rules they derive from their personal and current belief 
re the supreme something's existence or nature, within the limits 



I think these few rules, derived from what I consider the essence of the 
agnostic point of view, make for a formidable set of fundamental ethics.



currently think the supreme something's nature is:

* I believe (even though I can't prove it) that there is a supreme 
something; I believe (even though I can't prove it) that hints about its 
nature can be found scattered among all world views and all throughout 
the universe, including science; I believe (even though I can't prove 
it) that its nature is very witty and humorous, very forgiving (to such 
an extent that the word is actually meaningless, because there is 
nothing to forgive in the first place), and very benevolent.


humorous, forgiving and benevolent, and leave the rest.




Pretty much everything else in terms of moral springs from the 
"commandment" to be forgiving and benevolent.
