I can't get excited about some magic fairy in the sky nor pretend any of it is real; any more than anyone, including theists, believes that the Egyptian sky goddess Nut was real. Since childhood, I've had a passion for astronomy, inspired by my Dad and fuelled by science fiction, and whenever I look up at the night sky I see the Universe - not the Heavens. Reality is far more exciting, and far bigger, than anything in a dusty book of fairy tales.
Ah yes... the my god is the true god because, because, because, because, becaaauuusssee.... because of the wonderful things he does.

There's as much evidence for Nut, as there is for yahweh. At least The Great and Powerful Oz is an old bumbling fart behind a curtain with enough humility to come the fuck out and admit he was playing them... and at least he tried to make up for it.
