But as we don't know what a god is, how can we discount them completely? Surely the most honest thing to do is just emphasise their unlikelyhood to exist? The lack of evidence so far for their to be a god. I don't know.
No, it's a slippery slope. Non existent until proven to exist. The whole God story is so flimsy that the one sane thing to do is to regulate it to fiction, as the Iliad was supposed to be about a fictional city until Schliemann discovered Troy.

When and if concrete evidence is presented, we can revisit the story in that light. But not until then.

I thought you said you didn't care what any of us thought? So, you do care? I do wish you would make up your mind already. - NKB
