That one is worse. I am looking around my room and see no tigers, therefore tigers do not exist. I think any scientist worth a damn would add a probably between god and does which would make that statement great in my opinion.
I'm thinking of becoming a theist just because refuting us seems as easy as shooting fish in a barrel. I'll admit I have no great argument for atheism, but I think that is the point; I don't need one. Oh, and how dare you misslabel the Invisible Pink Unicorn (BBHH)! We know she is invisible because we can't see her (science) we have faith that she is pink (religion) NOMA be damned!

There you have it. Sig gone. Happy now?
Tigers are not in your room based on your observation. You don't see any. That does not mean they do not exist, it just means they are not there to be observed. I can say I have a pink apple in my hand that is invisible, naturally people would say it's not there because it is not observable. That does not mean it is not there, it's just not there to be observed. Same goes to god. I'm not saying he does not exist, I'm saying there is nothing to suggest that he does. Therefore it's reasonable to not believe in it.
In the eyes of scientific observation, there is no evidence to suggest it exists. Get it now? Please tell me you get it?!

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
