...BUT JUST DON'T USE THE "G" WORD.
That's not true, I'm also an A-Alienist! I don't know of any aliens, nor do I have any belief in them! I don't dismiss the possibility of A God any more than I do Aliens. But, you don't say it's a possibility of a God, you think you have a personal relationship with a specific one, and go around making claims of objective certainty! That's a horse of a different color!
If an Atheist professes to know a specific race of Aliens, and then begins making claims about their personal relationship with them, believe me, I'll be the first to put them in the hot seat! But, alas, that's not what's going on around here.

Making claims of certainty that are not supported by sufficient evidence makes you a target. Surely you recognize the difference here.
