These are easy, just find one and look at it, nothing special. A large lizard that breathes fire, a dragon and so on. A god, on the other hand, is much more difficult to ascertain. Even if the god unmade the whole of reality except for it and I, there is no way that I can determine that the experience is not hallucinatory.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion.
-- Superintendent Chalmers

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.

Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral.
