I disagree, I can support my position 100%. I do not believe that the scraps of paper we refer to as accounts of gods have anything to do with anything more than the scraps of paper they were printed on and the minds of those who read/wrote them. Gods exist, in fairy tales, as a narrative device. I present the Bible, the Torah, Qu'ran, The BG, The Upanishads, The Ulster Cycle, and various scribblings on the innards of caves as my evidence. Their collective totality as my proof. This is what gods are, this can be demonstrated, this is what is known. End of. Feel free to propose anything beyond this that you wish, but in the end, a value or measure of truth can be assigned to my assertions that cannot be assigned to assertions beyond these.
I also concede that conjecture exists, conjecture does not make a god, it remains conjecture, and can be demonstrably shown to be a product of the same cause as all of the above. There is no philosophy in the god explanation, only ignorance and excuse.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
