I'm unsatisfi= ed with the current translation of "agnostic" as "god-doubte= r"

While that works in common usage, a more precise definition (at least a= s it is used in certain circles in which I discuss) would be "one who = believes in the unknowability of the existence of a god"

so I tried to come up with a lujvo:

krici lo du'u tolcu'= i lo djuno be lo du'u zasti fa lo cevni -> {ko'a} believes that = it is impossible to know that god exists. (djuno asks for a {du'u}, alt= hough {jei} may be more appropriate)
fi lo cevni cu krici lo du'u tolcu'i lo djuno be lo du'u zasti = -> {ko'a} believes about god that it is impossible to know that {zo&= #39;e} exists
cevni krici lo du'u tolcu'i lo djuno be lo du'= u zasti -> {ko'a} god type-of believes that it is impossible to know= that {zo'e} exists
cevni krici lo du'u tolcu'i lo zasti djuno -> {ko'a} god typ= e-of believes that it is impossible to exist type-of know
cevni krici lo= du'u zasti djuno tolcu'i -> {ko'a} god type-of believes tha= t (exist type-of know) type-of impossible

But I get stuck there.=A0 Am I going about this the right way?

I= s the next progression

zasti djuno tolcu'i cevni bo krici =3D za= sti djuno tolcu'i ke cevni krici

?

I'd appreciate any= advice.
