Best Living Spokesman for Atheism

[God of Mr. Hanky]

The medieval people had reasons to believe in the fairies and elves, why else would they believe. My analogy does fail despite your refusal to accept it. By the way not finding an argument convincing is a good reason to not believe it. If I failed to convince you that I used to be a popstar would you still be wrong to not believe I used to be a popstar? In your head you believe everything everyone ever tells you without any evidence. This is not how you operate or you would also believe in Shiva and all the other pantheon of gods around the world. You don't believe in them so why do you find it so hard to accept that we don't believe in your god OR all the others.

None of this gives us a reason to believe that the motivations behind shooting pains and God belief are as you say they are.

Once again, what is the evidence for this claim?

I find it very interesting how people have repeatedly asked you questions, that when it's a question you don't like you ignore it completely, and then you accuse them of making a "claim". There is a difference between questioning your beliefs and making a claim to anything, and the importance of that difference is critical in any dialogue on anything. I somehow doubt that's really news to you, but it seems this may be - you aren't very slick about the way you feign ignorance on that, in fact it was very dodgy of you when you did that the first time, and the bogus factor grows exponentially every time you do that again!

On the question which you have most frequently avoided: Do you have any evidence for anything you've said here, or don't you?
