I'm inviting you to access the knowledge that is freely available to you on the lack of evidence for any supernatural claims. Your religion is one who asks people to accept an authority.
You're asking me to accept the "scientific community at large" - but why should I? It sounds like your religion is asking me to accept an authority too. Why? Aren't all authorities bad and suspect?
You're telling me there's a lack of evidence, but I know there is an abundance of evidence. What it sounds like to me is that it's not evident to you. But then how does it follow that it's not evident to me?

Strangely, I don't find myself suffering any "misery of this world". Maybe you should look into that?You have an obligation to get old and die. Whoever, or whatever, is in charge and makes the rules, it's not you. So you can rebel as hard as you want - but ultimately we're all forced to submit to powers higher than ourselves.
"Proving it" all day every day, except here, rgr?
I think it's awesome that you've never had a bad day, and that you get everything you want. I sincerely hope that keeps working out for you.
Sorry, I just have to point out that calling God a "fantasy" is, again, unfortunately not a scientific statement. It is a statement about your faith and your feelings. Not science. Just want to be clear on that.
Once again, I've never - not once - said I would prove the existence of God to you. Or anyone on this forum. That doesn't mean the existence of God hasn't been proven to me.
