As it is, believers confuse evidence for delusion.
No surprise there.
A group of four Jehovah's Witnesses knocked at my door a couple of months ago. When I asked them what evidence they had for God's existence, one of them made a sweeping gesture toward the woods in back of my house, saying, "There's your evidence right there!"
"No," I replied, "that's only evidence that I own several acres of wooded property. Evolution is a perfectly adequate explanation of how all those trees and woodland creatures got there."
"What is your religion?" their leader asked.
"I have no religion or god," I replied. "I'm an atheist."
They all shrugged their shoulders and left. Intellectual cowards!
I wish my JWs had written me off as soon as I told them I was an atheist....
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
