No one can know whether God exists and actually punishes the stupid ones that believe in him despite the lack of evidence. Without evidence this is on an equal footing to Christianity.
Interestingly this is the same argument the magic bean salesman uses "I can't prove my magic beans work, but you have to have faith that they do".

I hate all this "We're here for a purpose" shit. Provide some evidence for this statement, not more nonsense like "well, we have to be" etc etc.
