Dear Avijit,
I did post an article related to God, atheism etc. And it was quite a
thorough
discussion and I ttied to make the language precise to avoid any ambiguity
and consequent endless loop of verbiage. Once again, let me provide the
link on this. Let me point out that if my personal position is not clear
from this
article (It should not be), it is indeed that of a skeptical agnostic
(Nobody can
refute this position by logic or science. Your adding the "famous" was
misplaced but appreciated neverteless :) . I MUST EMPHASIZE that I have
redefined and developed the notion of agnosticism very carefully at the end
of
that article (Hence one needs to read the whole article). And it is only
in that sense that i am agnostic. Although I don't assign equal probabilty
to
platonism and atheism. So far I lean more towards platonism, but I will
alter
the probabilities if forced by evidence and logic (Thats the skeptic me).
Let me know if you prefer that I send the article in Mukto Mona. I will be
happy to send it. Here's the link:

(God, Atheism, Recular Humanism etc)
It may be helpful to read my other article in conjunction for a complete
view on God. This is at:
