I assure you that I am not.

Then you need to check yourself. From Merriam-Webster:

Agnostic - a person who holds the view that any ultimate reality (such as God) is unknown and probably unknowable one who is not committed to believing in either the existence or the nonexistence of God or a god.

Atheists - a person who does not believe in the existence of a god or any gods.

How Agnostic Differs From Atheist

Atheist and agnostic appear in the same contexts but are distinct in meaning. Atheist refers to someone who does not believe in the existence of a god or any gods. Agnostic has two relevant meanings: it can refer to someone who holds the view that any ultimate reality, such as God, is unknown and probably unknowable, or it can refer to someone who is not committed to believing in either the existence or nonexistence of God or a god.

Agnostic first appeared in print in 1869 (it was possibly coined by the English biologist Thomas Henry Huxley), and was formed from the Greek agnōstos, meaning "unknown, unknowable." Atheist came to English from the French athéisme. Although both words share the prefix a-, meaning "without," the main body of each word is quite different. Agnostic ultimately comes from the Greek root gignōskein, meaning "know" (also the source of such words as know and prognosis). Atheist shares the root theo, meaning "god," with such words as theology and theism.

When I said, "I assure you I am not"...I was correct.

First of all...there is absolutely nothing wrong with making a blind guess. People do it...and when dealing with the question of whether there are any gods or not...both people who use the descriptor "theists" and people who use the descriptor "atheists" do it. Both make blind guesses about whether there are any gods...although they do blindly guess in decidedly different directions.

For the most part, people who use the descriptor "agnostic" do not...although the folk who use "agnostic atheist" or "agnostic theist"...may do so.

Bottom line: the definition are the definitions, despite all the desperate attempts of folk from all sides of the discussion to try and alter or revise them. It is what it is.

The Rape of Dinah (Genesis 34)
34 Now Dinah, the daughter Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the women of the land. 2 When Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, the ruler of that area, saw her, he took her and raped her.
Genocide in Joshua (Joshua 1-12)

Shouldn’t that render the Old Testament obsolete?
If not it sounds like standard warfare in that part of the world today.

yes.

the old testament is obsolete, an old bloody pact for a defunct people.

the new covenant with man is through jesus christ, amen.
