Do you believe in an impersonal God?
Do you have any reason whatsoever to posit the supernatural?

1. I am agnostic toward the concept of a impersonal god, though I believe it is improbable.

2. I don't have any personal experience that would lead me to belive in the supernatural. Of what I've read (James Randi, CISCOP, Skeptic) there is little reason to believe in those things.

You presume too much. Of course I can "envision" a non-Christian deity. I thought you might have interesting things to say in support of your reasons, beyond those I posted in the beginning of this thread. Jeez.

the pervasive success of methodological naturalism and the persistent absence of evidence for the supernatural

I agree with those reasons.
