       We all form some degree of belief about things that are not known.

       Atheists are the most closed minded that it's possible to be, yet they   
   hilariously like to consider themselves as open minded. What could be a better   
   example of being closed minded than to put faith in the one possibility that   
   God   
   does not exist?   
      
   >but I agree, they don't want to consider other possibilities.   
      
       No they don't, and they can't. Yet they dishonestly try to pretend they can   
   by claiming to have no belief. They can consider the possibility that God   
   doesn't exist but can't consider the possibility that he does. That means only   
   the one possibility enters their tiny little minds leaving them with only the   
   one possible belief. Do you think any of them are honestly stupid enough to   
   really believe they have no belief even considering the facts I just pointed   
   out? Or do you think they're really not that stupid but are being deliberately   
   dishonest about it?
