I think if you asked me if there are any unicorns the common answer is not "I don't know" but "No, there aren't". I don't see why I have to treat god differently. It's true that we haven't explored the whole universe to say with 100% certainty that there aren't any unicorns, but since no one has provided proof I assume it's a false hypothesis. If someone thinks unicorns exist they have to provide proof

I see belief as asserting with reason, not as asserting without proof. I have the odds at my side
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
