Oh, I never said I could not change, just that I am completely and utterly unwilling to acknowledge a higher power because it is against my constitutionally protected philosophical beliefs. My 12th step would be acknowledging that all the people I perceive also have needs and feelings equal to my own that I perceive, and their being imaginary does not make them any less real or important than me. By this token, for all the lives they have touched and the presence they have in people's hearts, I would argue that fictional characters are at least psychologically/emotionally real.
How is my belief that reality is unconfirmable any more ridiculous from a legal standpoint than the existence of God?
