I answered consistently with the gods having various human attributes and didn't get any hits or bullets for it... On the absence of evidence thing, I think you and I actually have much the same beliefs, so my guess is you were reading more into words like "rational" than they intended (or I was reading in less than they intended, I supppose). Absence of evidence does mean that it's rational to believe in the absence of the whatever-it-is; it just doesn't follow that it's necessarily irrational to believe in its presence. I answered accordingly and came through those questions okay.
