You'd have been perfect for the Spanish inquisition with your traits, shame you missed out?
Like most other atheists I deny the existence of any god due the dearth of evidence. I do have a rationalization that supports my position.
Consider an extinction event that wiped out humanity. Also consider that at some point in the future evolution gives rise to another sentient and reasoning species. This species could rediscover the same facts of existence humanity has, but would be unable to recreate humanity's gods and holy texts. This does not bode well for the plausibility of any god claim.
Agreed that you have a rationalisation that supports your position, as do theists. Why is yours correct?
It depends if a jesus equivalent came along or not, the species may discover the same facts, but depending on the evolved senses the facts my differ significantly or only slightly. Who knows.
