That shit is just hilariously false, but that's just a tick of human beings, not some damning comment on gods in their entirety. Very few gods were creator gods. It's not that we don't have any evidence that gods created this world that I laugh at that childish conjecture, but that all evidence points to the contrary.
I have simply never believed. I suppose it would be fun to tell you that I was a brilliant five year old who'd read popper and what not...and was similarly well read in the conundrum of a justified true belief, but that would be fiction. So..theres some grand irony..in that who I am now, well...I actually do fit the characterization of an atheist with positive beliefs about the existence of gods...but even -I- didn't start out that way.
Twas magical pop rocks.
