Your turn.
I probably have religion to thank for my atheism. The premise of a god has become so invasive in this life that we cannot help to try to put him in some manageable perspective. When I did this I came up with a definition of what the religious claim their biblical god is. This is that definition:
God is an ALL-knowing, ALL-powerful, INVISIBLE being who is EVERYWHERE, who lives in another dimension called heaven, who created the WHOLE universe, who is perfect in every way, who was never born and will never die.
That premise is probably THEE most absurd idea mankind has ever conceived.
There is an ALLLL-knowing, ALLLL-powerful, inVISible being who is everywhere, who created the WHOLE universe, who lives in another dimension called heaven, who is perfect in every way, who was never born and will never die, and who watches you every minute of every day (even when you're squeezing one out on the toilet). There are also unicorns, leprechauns, Santa Claus, an Easter Bunny, and a giant purple people eater.
JUST BELIEVE IT!
