Are you willing to admit your faith in that, or are you ashamed
to as the vast majority of strong atheists appear to be?

I don't have to use my imagination because I do consider
the possibility that God does not exist, as well as the possibility
that he does.

LOL! Of course people who consider the possibility of God's
existence feel the same way toward people who have faith
in the possibility that he does not, especially when those same
people try to get us to put faith in it too even as they themselves
deny their own faith. We don't do it on the rare occasions when
such people are not ashamed of their faith either, but as I said
that is very rare. Usually such people amusingly encourage us
to put faith in something that they deny having faith in.
