Seriously, it's really not my fault your God won't interact with our reality.
It's just a little sad that your God is about as real as Puff the magic dragon...
True Story!
If I convince you otherwise, you'll have to admit that the religious are more intelligent.

You seem to be unaware of this concept. I can make all kinds of claims which ARE possible - like the claim that there is a teapot orbiting Jupiter. Would you take me seriously if I made such a claim? You might if I could prove that I was an engineer on one of the NASA probes that sent orbiters to Jupiter. Even then, you SHOULD have some serious skepticism because launching anything to Earth-orbit - never mind on a trajectory through the solar system - is very challenging and expensive. Why to Hell should anyone take the extra effort and expense to deploy a teapot around Jupiter? It IS possible but ridiculously unlikely.
That's where we stand with your God claim. Sure, it's possible - especially if you invoke a supernatural realm into which we cannot peer. But why should we take such a claim more seriously than a teapot around Jupiter? Don't you see? You are making an extraordinary claim yet are offering no reason at all to take it seriously.
I haven't even started on that subject, I'm saying that if atheists are only a fraction more intelligent than retarded religious folk, then that can't mean that they are all that bright.
