Yeah, but how many things are you going to "withhold judgment" on? And what's your criteria to distinguish between "has no evidence in favour and no reason to believe, discard" and "has no evidence in favour and no reason to believe, withhold judgment"?

What is it about belief in God that makes it special in ways that belief in Space Werewolves isn't?

And if you're going to go with the God Of The Gaps "we don't know what's there, so it might be God" argument, I'm okay with that. I can also present you with a dozen explanations as to why it's logically indefensible.

But yeah. Why do you "withhold judgement" about the existence of God, and not about the existence of The Great And Powerful Space Werewolf?
