Whose "opinion"?
We don't have an invisible friend. Not to mention you have a problem with infinite regress. Not to mention you would not buy your own argument here if someone with a different pet deity claim used the same argument.
You are starting with a naked assertion with no evidence. You can shout from the rooftops all you want that your god exists, take a number, humans throughout history have made all sorts of stupid bullshit claims about invisible sky heros.
You'd seriously have us believe that thinking can occur without a material structure like a human brain? And that this "thinking" invisible super friend put us on this tiny hostile dot in the middle of nowhere in a gigantic universe? FOR WHAT?
It never occurs to you, or muslims or Jews or Hindus or humans in general that all these god claims are nothing but our own childish reflections of our own desires.
You "Look I believe in invisible brains" sounds like "Yea, despite knowing Santa isn't real, I like believing it".
You have a pet god, ok, get in line, take a number.
