It would only take one example of a real god to undermine your empirical conclusion. Since it is practically impossible to investigate each and every god claim, you cannot have certain knowledge, as reasonable as it may seem.

Are you sure you aren't just compelled by the initial conditions of the universe to believe you have that choice. ;-)

Do you or do you not believe in epistomological and/or moral absolutes?

You are in good company. I started reading existentialist philosophy in high school. I'm 49 now and my interest has only grown. It's a wonderful way to approach life.
