I'm talking about two different kinds of considering here. Considering the possibility, which I will - I consider all possibilites - and actually "considering" as in putting it into practice (as you seem to think that I am not truly considering the matter unless I am in favour of it to at least some extent?).
I do consider the possibility of belief without evidence being rational, of course! - Because - I thought as you already knew? - I'm a full blown agnostic. I accept the possibility of anything. But that's different to probability..... based on the probability I, in practice, choose to believe on valid evidence and not on lack of it (faith-based belief) - because I consider that more rational and more likely to be the truth - which I care about.
And also with me it's really a matter of being unconvinced, and I just - at least so far - remain completely unconvinced by faith-based belief - I consider it baseless -... evidence-based belief however, I find compelling.
