Right, and the absence of evidence does not give one license to poof! all sorts of imaginary characters into existence.
If anything, this should show the theist how very weak their position is, to be on the same level as plutonian unicorns or ten-foot tall invisible martian robot spiders. See? No evidence! But, they are real! Poof!
But I know, their god is speshul and not *at all* like a ten-foot tall invisible martian robot spider.
"Bravo," he whispers, nodding once in silent respect.

All the everything. All. You are doing all the bad, Nora Brimstone, and should stop it at once.
Or at least that's what the inevitable reply will amount to.
Smoke weed? You're doing wrong. Why? Because they say so. Why do they say so? Because they love to judge, because it makes them feel superior. Love to fuck? You're doing wrong. Why? What did I just fucking say?
Religion is a contrivance devised to allow one set of humans to declare superiority over others with some kind of authority. Only nowadays, we all see how hollow that authority really is. It's vacant, vapid, vacuous, vestigial, a void. Even now, in the twilight of religion's prominence in human history, they still use it for that most petty of desires; dominance over another without putting any effort into achieving dominance. And in so doing, they betray their true colors more and more.
