Well, just because you don't see something doesn't mean that it doesn't exist..... I mean you can't see radio waves; so, according to your belief, that means they don't exist either, am i right?
We can measure radio waves, we can examine them, we can quantify them.
We can do none of this with your god. And worse, the one attempt to do so, the bible, showed from its very beginning that your god is an impossibility, no being can be both omnipotent and omniscient.

So, because something seems far-fetched, that means (for you atheists) it doesn't exist, am I right?
No when something (eg yhwh) can be shown as an impossibility, then it doesn't exist.
Tell me, numbus, do you know why you believe in god? I do.

Occam's Razor is the assertion that if there are multiple possible explanations to a phenomena, the simplest explanation is most likely to be true.
Well, it's a bit more precise than that. William of Ockham's doctrine of least causes states than when you have multiple equally plausible explanations for an event or a thing existing then you chose the one that has the easiest explanation to make it happen.
God assertions don't even manage to get to an equal level of plausibility as naturalistic theories, and thus they do not meet the criteria necessary to be even considered for the Razor.

Roman Catholic.
Yeah right, numbnuts. You don't speak like any catholic I've ever met. And being Irish I've met lots.
