Something like that, it really depends.

I'm agnostic, I think that their is a higher power. I just don't think it's necessarily "god" himself. I think it's some kind of force that balances out nature and perhaps allows life on our planet.

I don't necessarily believe in the "bible" at all.

I sometimes think the Bible was written by some sort of ancient goverment type thing just to ensure that their communities wouldn't be an absolute Hell to deal with. To install fear into them, perhaps.

Agnostic is NOT undecided. I'm decided that there's no possible way one can prove there's God, I just won't believe what someone says, whether it be "God exists" or "God doesn't exist". I do not have an opinion on the issue other than you can waste your life trying to argue whether there's God and life after death or not.
Agnostic is NOT atheist, as it doesn't say God does not exist.

In other words, it is undecided.

yes, you've decided that there's no way to prove it, but thats not the question. Are you decided on whether there is a God or not? No. Therefore, you are undecided.

I'm agnostic and I firmly believe that there is no higher power and I will be tossed into nonexistence when my neurons discontinue their transmitions.  However, I also believe that I cannot know for sure that I am right - if I am wrong, I will proudly take suite 666 with Satan (or maybe even Hades) himself and when my judgement comes before Yeskwah, I will be sure to tell him to shove his greedy, conceited, arrogant bullshit up his hairy ass o.o

The next statement is true.  The previous statement is false.

Um no. Agnostic is not knowing if there is or isn't a God. And it is the most logical belief system between believing and not believing.

People most often use "agnostic" to mean that one doesn't know whether or not there is a god, though properly the term refers to the stance that one cannot know for sure whether or not there is a god (thus meaning that agnostics, like all people, are either atheists or theists).

Well...most agnostics don't know, and they don't really care. Some agnostics don't know, and would like to know.

Isn't it where you believe there is a higher form of power that created life and such, but you don't want to give it a certain name and devote your life to it? All the while believing that life goes on after death?

yes, agnostics are faith driven people.
