besides it's funny how you shield yourself from being wrong by putting your god on a supernatural plane out of reach of human reasoning every time the grilling get a bit too tough. although i could bet that the day there is evidence that there is indeed a god that could grant you serenity, courage and wisdom, you'd be the first to spam the boards with "see, i told you so..."

why can't you leave the gaps empty until you really know what's in them.
you may be missing on a few fantasies that could be proven right in the future but you're certain to avoid a lot of delusions.
