You assume it is an analogy. Can you prove that Floog doesn't exist?

Personally, I'm agnostic about floog.

I'm definately anti-floogist. Even if floog did exist, it would be an incompetent, psychopathic floog. Who'd want to pay homage to a floog like that? Fuck floog

Existence is not evidence for a god.

Existence is evidence for existence.

If you want to convince us that existence is evidence for a god, then you have to provide....wait for it....evidence.

Looking at the 'results' and asserting your magic a cause is not evidence. It sure seems like the fallacy of affirming the consequent to me.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

Floog forgives you. Floog is good like that.

But guys, Floog has to exist. The Iruf says so.

I'm game. Send me a copy of the Iruf, some scholarly analysis, and maybe some relevant archaeological discoveries, and I'll consider if its the right religion for me.
