The Satanic quality of the Internet

Since I like to split hairs with you, in a way you and me even cannot be atheists, nor can anyone else. Because it is a known statement in logics that the non-existence of something cannot be proven. That makes the question of whether to believe or not that God exists, a question of probabilities, because an atheist necessarily in last consequence cannot ever be an atheist but only is an agnostic who shows higher or not so high confidence that God indeed does not exist. What we call an atheist denying the existence of God then is, is an agnostic who is to 99.99999999......% certain that God does not exist. The rest of a chance tends to move towards the mathematical infinite minimum.

To precise my statement then: I consider it to be infinitely unlikely that God does exist.

Of course I also see no explanatory value in assuming that a god exists.
