1. Argumentum ad populum (look it up)
2. I don't know of any like-minded group anywhere in the world that numbers anywhere remotely close to 2 billion.
3. VERY VERY few christians or muslims for that matter, claim to converse with god directly (two persons talking). The percentage has got to be somewhere under .0000001 percent. The reason: even you silly sheep deem people who claim to hear god talking to them bat shit crazy.
4. The odds of Mr. Atheist actually meeting and talking to a dragon are actually slightly better than him having a daily conversation with the almighty creator of the universe in his bedroom in the hopes that some day he's going to see hundreds of thousands of souls flying through the air to meet that god's zombie son floating just above the ground with 10,000 angels playing the brass section in the background.
Geez just writing that last one makes you all seem stupider.
