Exactly, Santa is also a being that you can't prove does not exist and yet RR and most of people on this forum (including theists) don't believe in him for the reasons I stated.
Not believing is fine (for whatever your reasons or if it is irrational)
If you are standing behind skepticism, then you are really not saying anything more than about your state of mind.... you are not making any claims about the subject in questioning as to being true or false.
So if you are just making a statement about yourself, and not venturing into pseudo-skepticism and making claims about anything else, then Ok.
This however may not be the best way to approach conversation.... it would be like me discussing evolution and bringing up the locke ness monster.
