Apparently, for you, there is plenty of evidence for arguing that gods do not exist (assuming this is what you mean when you say religion is bullshit). That puts the onus on you to provide some evidence for this claim of yours. Probably ought to start by defining "god" and "bullshit". Good luck.
Don't be silly. Of course if one rejects the belief in any gods, then one considers religion and its claims as bullshit.
Only if you know more about gods than I do. I find nothing but conflicting reports regarding the nature of gods. I consider all assertions regarding gods to be nonsense including your own. But if indeed you think you have an argument against gods and religion, lets hear it. But do bring some evidence to the table so you can shoulder your burden of proof if you want to come off any better than your theist rivals.

bullshit: your statement
I take it you didn't enjoy my statement. No fuck given here. I stand behind it. You would like to go on asserting what you cannot back up without being called on it. Too bad.
