What does the story of Noah's Ark have to do with what I said about atheism? Stop being a Bible literlaist and actually try to fucking understand the damn thing. Otherwise it's not worth trying to have a discussion with you on the subject.
Jokes apparently don't make it past that steel beartrap of an intellect you possess. Good job, buddy. High five.

There are plenty of people who don't believe what I believe in, but Ill tell you one thing; we all believe in reality, and we all try to describe it and explain the phenomena known as reality. Pick your choice of words, your petty labels, your 'logical arguments.' You still can't get away from the fact that we're bot htrying to explain the same thing.
Some of us like to describe things in reality with concepts that are demonstrable in reality. Falsifiability and verifiability are what separate fact from fantasy and the real from unreal. You said that atheism somehow doesn't exist, then say we're trying to explain the same thing. I don't make any claims as to where the universe originated, or if it even needed a creator. YOU make that claim. I reject it. I'm not trying to explain anything, especially not with something that can't be proven or disproven.

I don't care if you had a sex change a month and a half ago, it doesn't make your arguments any more valid. It's not like being a non-believer has some kind of quality that reflects us all. Some people are just more susceptible to believing some wild shit.
