Seems the man is is netiher a theist nor an atheist, if I read this:

K:
"If I want to find out what is God, not I believe in God, that has no
meaning, if there is God, if there is no God, I really want to find
out. I am terribly serious. And if I am really serious, I am really
concerned to the understanding, learning about God, if there is God, I
must push aside completely all the beliefs, all the structure, all the
churches, all the priests, all the books, all the things that thought
has put together about religion. You follow?"

To start out with an assumption of a god is theistic.

He seems to be a non-agnostic wating his time trying to become either a
theist or an atheist.

A non-agnostic is a gnostic. One is either theistic or not
(atheistic) - one can't be not either.

That is a wrong assumption
at least two mathematicians proved indepently
that if "A" is not true, it doesn't follow that "not A" is true.

I can prove, mathematically, that 2 = 1, but if something can have
only 2 states and it doesn't have one of them it has the other one.

But I have heard agnostics described as those who think.
it cannot be known wether God Exists.

Anyone can redefine any word. I prefer to use the meaning given it by
the man who invented it. If one is not unwilling to make statements
for which one has no evidence, one is willing to make statements for
which one has no evidence.

I would really want to warn him,
that lack of evidence should be ample reason to omit the God idea

Lack of observation of anything to investigate should be ample reason
to not go looking for something. We've learned enough times that no
god resided in knowledge gaps.

As Krisna doesn't exist I wonder what murti means.
Goofgle(murti) second hit (first hit was Dutch, I'll spare you that)
---------------------------
A murti (Devanagari: ??????) (also spelled murthi or
murthy) typically refers to an image in which the Divine Spirit is
'murta', or expressed. A murti becomes worshippable after the Divine is
invoked in it for the purpose of offering worship. Thus the murti is
treated as the Deity of the Divine and regarded by Hindus and also by
some Mahayana Buddhists during worship as points of devotional and
meditational focus.
---------------------------
Dam'n it means Icon or Idol or something to that extent.
We'll have to warn our friends the Christians.
The man is a living Idol
If they visit his site, they'll sin againts the first commandment.
Wow, good thing I'm not a Christian:)

And, again, he's assuming, a priori, that there's something there to
investigate, rather than investigating that for which he has something
*to* investigate. The religious method, as opposed to the scientific
method.
