You can, should and are right to do so, but you're missing the point. If you can assert that your god exists because he said so and there is no evidence to the contrary, I could assert the very same thing about other gods or myths. The fact that you only apply that line of fallacious reasoning to one myth is special pleading.

Pardon? And saying there once was a boy who came back from the dead to save the day doesn't reek of wizards and fairy tales to you?
Also, how is not buying into an obviously indoctrinated idea living in a fairy tale? How is accepting the reality living a delusion?

To further assert that the something that existed would magically explode and form extraordinarily complex worlds and systems within systems within systems, and form precise mathematical and scientific laws from chaos, is quite frankly laughable. Not that I look down on anyone who believes in these things, because each man has only what God has given him, including understanding that which concerns our existence as a whole.
Well, where did your god come from?
Nothing?

Assertion upon assertion upon assertion.
You claim we cannot comprehend god, yet you speak of his intentions as if you did. Tell me then, is your god knowable? If not, why should we believe a word you speak about him?
