I, personally, object to their shitty gods strictures and systems and normative proclamations. Which is why I tell them that the existence of their god is irrelevant to my status of faith. Their faiths fail, for me, not on grounds of the existence of their god...but on ethical/moral grounds unrelated to the existence of a deity.
Thanks for your reply, Rhythm. I personally do not have any requisite evidence for the existence of a deity, because IMO, humanity has not even really properly defined the term: IMO, it is like being told to simplify a mathematical problem without a complete understanding of what the domain is, and if we don't know what the domain is, then how do we know that the range will produce valid outputs for all possible inputs? Hence, I don't see a difference between a search for deities and a seti search for alien lifeforms: call them deities if that's what one's heart wants, but IMO, it could just as easily be called something else and perhaps something more accurate if we interpret it with reason rather than wishful thinking.
