We simply don't accept the arguments that they do. The burden of proof is on those who make the claim that gods do exist, and they have failed to meet that burden. I can't very well prove that leprechauns or fairies definitely don't exist, but I've quite fucking positive they don't. Same with gods.

In terms of the Dawkins Scale, I classify myself as 6.9 etc for the sake of intellectual honesty - I always have to keep that door open, however fractionally, to the possibility. When it comes down to how I live my life and interact with my bit of the Universe, though, I consider myself a 7, minimum. Like Laplace, I have no need of that hypothesis and I am of the opinion that not only do gods not exist anywhere in our reality, they cannot exist there - at least as they are usually described.

Welcome to the new blood!
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
