Fair enough. I'm just glad you didn't say "nothing," which is just such a poorly thought out answer.

I basically did say nothing, just not in a thoughtless way :P But I suppose the other way, would be for some other deity to inform me that mine was not real. So like, Zeus or Thor or somebody comes and tells me.

Yeah. To be fair, most atheist responses are equally extreme, requiring a direct confrontation with a deity. So we're all more or less set in our mindsets. That said, I appreciate how many people aren't replying with "absolutely nothing." It's said that it is the mark of an intelligent mind to be able to entertain an idea without believing it.
