"If there is no evidence" is the key part of your perspective.
If you don't believe you have the required evidence to account for something, then it's silly to believe that you have any idea what is, or what could be.

And yet you refuse to respect our wanting to have an oasis away from your superstitions, and our desire to be away from you and your ilk.
Is it a superstition to think that I don't know why existence is, or that you don't know?
If you know, present evidence. Otherwise try not to misrepresent my position based on your inability to understand it.

Trolls gotta troll.
Why is having a different opinion viewed as trolling?

That settles it then, he's a troll.
No, i just disagree with a common believed atheist position. I must admit it fascinates me that most seem to think I don't get it as I don't agree. Or to get it do I need to agree?

That would be scepticism, of which atheism is a specialised subset dealing entirely with the existence of gods and related aspects. Similarly toilet paper does not make for practical wallpaper, despite their both being made of paper.
Perhaps the leprechauns, unicorns et al analogy should not be commonly asserted to show the likelihood of a god?
