What makes you certain you have any legitimate point at all to asking that question?

A politician saying it was the truth.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
-- Homer Simpson

God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion.
-- Superintendent Chalmers

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
-- Ned Flanders

Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral.
-- The Rev Lovejoy

Why are you a parrot?

You are the one who believes in magic godsperm and zombie gods. We'd say that the reason you believe in the divinity of the Jesus character is the same reason Muslims believe in the divinity of Allah, because the warm fuzzy feeling of having a super hero protect you sounds nice, no matter how false that "feeling" may be, and that feeling is in your head caused by an emotional reaction to being sold a pretty story.

How about humans making up gods? Or is that simply not sexy enough for you?

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

And this analysis is based on what concrete observation?

The fact that psychology is a scientific field and biology is a scientific field and that when you do an autopsy on a human BRAIN you damned well know there is no such fucking thing as a non material version of such.

Not to mention all the dead gods and other people's claims of gods that you don't personally buy.

"The God Delusion" Richard Dawkins, "The New Atheism" Victor Stenger. "The End Of Faith" Sam Harris. I am sure they know a fuckload more than you do about why you fall for the bullshit you do.

You believe in your pet deity for the same reason people once believed the sun was a thinking being. You are merely projecting your own wishful thinking in want of a fictional being, like a baby wants protection from their parents.

If there's a nonmaterial consciousness how is science, which tests material, supposed to find it? People report having "out of body experiences" with no change in brainal activity whatsoever.
