There's a world of difference between not accepting the clear existence of other people and not believing in the existence of some magical being for which we have no evidence whatsoever that it exists (and for which we have a plethora of good reasons to reject its existence).
Actually I can argue this way, and I am right.
Show a bit of intellectual humility, will you?

Bullshit.
Quote:I did not think this at one point, but then I simply suppressed the knowledge of the divine that was in me. At this point, my consciousness clearly points toward the divine, both explicitly and implicitly.
That people like you are wired to believe in the divine does not mean the divine therefore exists. It only means that you are wired that way. You still need to produce evidence that shows the divine exists, something I have not seen any theist do to this day.

It doesn't offend me, but it frustrates me that you think this is a compelling argument that you're making when it just isn't.
