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.
Well, I'm not the one making the claim that atheists are at all any more intelligent than theists. I'm AM however calling you out on your claim that atheists disregarding your unsubstantiated claims of God are automatically claiming omniscience. One does not need to be omniscient to recognize that someone else making a claim they cannot back up is probably full of shit.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
