I DO feel I have enough information to count out all of the asinine other choices you listed, so yes I DO know if I believe in all of those other things.

I have evidence of whether I am standing or sitting OR more importantly it is possible to GET evidence about whether I am standing or sitting.

I have SOMETHING upon which to form a belief on all of the things you listed there.

I dont know if i believe in aliens or not. never seen one. they could easily exist, they could easily not exist. I wasnt born with a belief in aliens either. I wasnt born with ANY beliefs. I came to them just as you did by thinking about them. So from your way of thinking I MUST either believe in aliens or not. Thats asinine. I dont have to do any such thing. I dont have a belief or disbelief on who is going to win the world curling championships either, but according to you, i really must have one because after all knowledge is irrelevant, so i must have a belief on the subject even though I dont know a single team or player.

I am sure at times I MAY have slipped one way or the other as a younger man, but as i grew the more and more I decided there is no way to go one way or the other and therefore I choose not to even ask the question at this point, because if the answer is unknowable, it makes little sense to decide on a "belief". My knowledge of God's existence or nonexistence is about as extensive as my knowledge of who is going to win the world curling championships and even worse, at least with the latter I can research and quickly at least come to a belief, with God from my POV I cant even begin to do that.

So like the curling championships, I have no belief or disbelief because I realize that I dont know the first thing about EITHER.

And if you are going to make arguments, please come with something less simple minded than santa claus.
