Bullshit and dishonest. You, and the rest of your we-simply-lackers, truly believe that the proposition "God exists" is false. You're just a cowardly pussy who isn't willing to stand up for what he actually believes.
What I believe for my private consumption and what I say publicly with an expectation or at least a hope of convincing others are two different things. I don't make any grand pronouncements regarding the status of the poorly defined thing called "God/gods" because I know nothing of them. But what I believe is that whatever it is believers experience which reinforces their belief is misunderstood by them. Literal gods understood as supernatural beings, undetectable from the natural world but able to manipulate it from their side of the divide, are nonsense. The entire supernatural category is still waiting for even one uncontroversial exemplar which would be needed to even consider a god claim. So long as you believers insist on filing your gods in the supernatural category I cannot take it seriously.
