But we have to draw the line somewhere. If we were to take the safe route, then anything that any human's mind can conceive is a possibility, and thus can never be dismissed. It's bunk. The existence of god has the same probability of existing as the one eyed one horned flying purple people eater. I don't feel the slightest bit afraid that perhaps we are wrong about the OEOHFPPE, gods are no different. Agnosticism is atheism lite, like intelligent design is creationism lite. Lets not forget that possibility is not synonymous with probability, and as intellectual beings we have to seperate the possible from the probable.
"In our youth, we lacked the maturity, the decency to create gods better than ourselves so that we might have something to aspire to. Instead we are left with a host of deities who were violent, narcissistic, vengeful bullies who reflected our own values. Our gods could have been anything we could imagine, and all we were capable of manifesting were gods who shared the worst of our natures."-Me
"Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation; all of which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, even if religion vanished; but religious superstition dismounts all these and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men." – Francis Bacon
