I think theres a distinction between ''there is no God'' and ''I don't know if there is a God, there just isn't enough evidence to believe in one". The former would require someone to travel the entire universe in search of a God - unrealistic, illogical. On the other hand the latter is exactly where I fall, I just havn't seen enough evidence to support any God's existence, and I feel the same as BR regarding the rest of the universe.
No way in fuck the God of the Bible or Allah or Zeus or any of those other mythical Gods have ever existed, I am as certain about this as certainty will permit me to be.
When knowledge and information are obsticles to belief, you know theres a problem with that belief. An omnipotent being wouldn't require you to become a sheep in order to win in this game we call life. That's the most absurd belief in religion "believe this even though it contradicts reality, just have enough faith!"...
