Close, but not quite what I was trying to say. An agnostic believes that it is impossible for anyone, including themselves to know. But you say that by reasoning through logic, you in fact do know. Agnosticism has nothing to do with showing or proving God's existence or non-existence to someone else. Agnosticism is the statement that it is impossible to know. It's saying that no amount of logic, reasoning or proof has convinced you that you can know about whether or not God exists, and that, really, it's impossible for any one to know because of the limitations of the human mind. By definition, that is an agnostic. It has nothing to do with being able to convince others.
