Interesting, then, that you're on a forum arguing against His existence. "Methinks the lady doth protest too much." True of all atheists on here, I imagine.
I don't argue against your god's existence. I just don't think it's there.

Also, it's a huge logical leap to say that if one argues against the existence of something that other people insist exists you are somehow being inconsistent or disingenuous in the disbelief of its existence. That simply doesn't follow.

You really don't seem to understand. It was the fact that you responded to what I was saying, but with no substance, that was the problem. Afterwards you seem to have become confused about what you actually responded to.
I think you either have some reading comprehension issues or I'm not communicating with you very well. Not sure what the case is, but I've lost motivation to continue this conversation.

Fear is not wisdom.

With enough mental conviction, a delusional individual can convince himself of the existence of anything in the absence of empirical evidence.
