The important part, though, is in admitting that believing in something despite a lack of evidence is plainly wrong. Just as I would be wrong to state with certainty that the flying spaghetti monster is real, a theist is wrong for saying definitively that god exists.

Will, ya know that the ignominious flying spaghetti monster reference, only invokes the power of total logical thinking, relying on an absolute faith in the power of scientific reasoning, logic, & rationalism, which is fine if you base your life on a purely Vulcan point of view. Some humans always try to suppress their emotions, bury them deep inside, and try to forget about the purely emotional, completely liberating, & absolutely mind empowering, view that God actually exists. I prefer to exist in a state that is open to all possibilities, ready and willing to consider new trains of thought, and willing to accept the fact that humans really don't now shit about the true nature of the universe, let alone the nature of themselves.
I think I'll check out the titty board now, and leave the existential postulation to the experts. Live Long & Prosper Will......
