How do you expect logic to comprehend emotions?

As in: not evidence.

Because it's not evidence. But let's change "atheists" to "christians" and say the very same thing referring to islam. See the problem?
If you are willing to suspend reason in favor of one fairy tale, you have to be consequent. What makes christianity more valid than islam? What makes god more probable than a unicorn? If you accept one supernatural claim, you have to accept all of them or admit that it's baseless or commit special pleading.

Easy? We just a had a theist tell us how scary our lives must be because we accept reality. IMO, clinging to childish superstitions is the easy way.
