I have "checked a dictionary". Either God exists or he does not exist. Its either A or B, if you reject A you must accept B, and vice versa. Learn the law of exclude middle
Learn 'false dilemma'. It is true that it's either A or B. It it NOT true that you must accept B if you reject A. You can accept neither without rejecting either. If I don't know if A or B is the case, I don't accept A or B, but I don't reject them either. You literally cited agnosticism as an option, yet you've already forgotten it.
So, in my case: I don't accept the proposition that God exists, but I don't accept the proposition that God doesn't exist, either. It's unknowable, especially without a specific definition of God. I reject Yahweh as depicted in the Bible, it's clearly a mess that could never have existed; but I don't reject the God of deism, which merely lacks evidence for its existence rather than being a contradictory pile of omni-attributes clearly derived from generations of playing 'my God is better than yours' like Yahweh. As far as super-intelligent aliens go, they might exist, but that doesn't mean they do...and that's setting the bar awfully low for what you'd consider a god. You're basically saying that advanced aliens wouldn't just appear to be gods, they really would be gods. If you want to worship them go right ahead, but the Raellians have beat you to it.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
