It is not so much an objection. The point is that being an atheist has 
become so much part of me over the years that a God in any form is not 
compatible with being me. Or to put it more technically, we are mutual 
exclusive. Either a God exists or me, not both at the same time.
Part of the discussion with Jim was also that I think this sort of 
philosophical ideas creeping into your being is more common that you 
might expect. If they do they, become undiscussable. You and me notice 
that in religious people, but without really being aware of it, it might 
happen to you too, and it probably has. That also implies that we are 
less rational than we like to think.
Although our level of irrationality is nowhere near that of some 
religious people. (But they might say the same)
