Well, lets also keep in mind law of probability. Scientific method NEVER says "never", but at the same time, once you realize something is crap scientifically speaking, you don't bet on the pink unicorn in the Kentucky Derby.

I am with you, I have yet to see any credible argument that has refuted Epicurus. The only conclusion I can come to be logically consistent is such a god doesn't exist, or if it does, is a fucking prick.

I'd be more understanding of a "lab rat" type god. Because scientist do use other life and have to inflict pain to understand how something clicks. But even in this case, humans increasingly know that animals feel pain and have emotions.

In either case though, there is no demonstrable, testable and falsifiable case of a thinking brain with no physical material, no neurons, or location. So "good god" or "lab rat god" makes no sense to me.

What we do have plenty of evidence of is that humans are capable of concocting stories and or falling for myth as fact.
