You can't be an atheist to one God, and a believer to another. They cancel each other out since atheism is defined as a belief in no gods or anything supernatural.
That's simply dodging the question. I refuse to believe that you are so obtuse that you didn't know what I meant.
In all honesty, I realize that I cannot disprove Loki.
I didn't ask what you could prove. I asked what you believe. These are two different questions.
Your reply is disappointing, but not unexpected. It's a question I have posed many times to people who say that the absence of evidence is an insufficient reason to believe that no gods exist. They usually reply as you did, claiming that they leave open the possiblity that Loki, or Santa Claus, or the tooth fairy, might indeed exist. I find that response disingenuous at best and simply an outright falsehood at worst. But of course, it is the response that all theists must give, unless they are willing to concede that the atheist position that no gods exist is a rational one.
