1. Humans have developed a vivid imagination.
2. Many fictional characters have been created by human imagination, e.g. leprechauns, fairies, dragons, god(s), etc.
3. Therefore, no deity exists, except in the realm of human imagination.
Quote:An argument that assumes gods are products of human imagination in order to conclude that gods are products of human imagination is a viciously circular epic fail.
That would be true if the argument included an assumption, but since it only includes statements of FACT, it does not fail.
