Before you assume we're being inconsistent, you should check if we're being inconsistent. I don't claim to know there is not a single Bigfoot anywhere in the world, so I say I don't believe in Bigfoot, not 'I know there is no Bigfoot'. It's because I don't like lying, which is what claiming to know something I know I don't know, is.

With gods, I'm starting to think so, yes. The nature of truth, what is knowable, herp-derp "we can't possible know for 100% certain!"...
...it's all starting to sound like (my new term) philo-babble bull shit.
Leprechauns do not exist. Spiderman does not exist. Faeries do not exist. Gods do not exist.
One of these things is not like the others. And why should I treat gods differently from other paranormal claims. Ideology?
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
