Is Lack of Belief the Best You Can Do?

Right. For all practical purposes, I can say "this thing you are describing is imaginary mate".

I'm just being intellectually honest by admitting the limits of my ability to know for sure about such things, especially given the extremely untestable nature of the description.

By far the most likely situation is that each theist has their own god, living in ther imagination. It's completely consistent, requires no assumptions, and is supported by the evidence of simply listening to theists.

It is far more unlikely that it is actually a real thing, which would require a wealth of assumptions, and twisting all the available evidence to produce a completely unexpected result. But I gain nothing by claiming to know for sure this isn't the case.
