The whole point of a board like this is to discuss and not feel like someone is going to "stare at you like you have another head".
I may not agree with SF's point of view but I am very interested to hear what he has to say. What you are reading here is not an argument, rather it is a discussion. Additional voices are always welcome and arguably necessary.
Post away.

I wasn't being statistical nor was he. The point was to say that he isn't being absolutist. He (and I) are leaving the door open to the possibility that God exists. I don't want to waste time counting angels on the head of a pin, so I am saying it is as close to impossible as you can get without being impossible.
