No kidding. The author also seems to think that agnostic means "you must take Pascal's Wager." That's been covered here many times by now. The agnostic simply holds that there isn't sufficient evidence for either alternative. Therefore, "faith" has no place, since there's no damn evidence.

Why is it that people equate agnostic with wishy-washy? It's simply an empiricist position.

I did see one good piece of advice on that site for would be Christian apologists. Be honest if you don't know the answer to a question. Most Christians here prefer to ignore unanswerable questions and hope the dumb atheists don't notice.
