Thanks to all who have responded to my Orwellian quote.
To those who struggle with the concept of not liking what you are convinced doesn't exist, I refer you to RD's " God Delusion ", specifically his spectrum of probabilities concerning the existence of God. The spectrum has milestones from 1 to 7.
Milestone 1 represents 100% probability that God exists. At the other end milestone 7 represents 100% probability that God doesn't exist.
As rational people, I suspect very few ateists would put themselves in 7,
rather milestone 6 which represents a very low probability of God's existence albeit short of zero. Hope this helps.

A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
