I don't know whether the OP is being serious or not!
He starts out with a 'reasonable' (if rather petty) argument, and now is banging on about Astral Projection and bizzare notions of aliens manipulating the human genome! He sounds just like my older brother who is a diagnosed paranoid scizophrenic - says it all really.
The truth may be puzzling. It may take some work to grapple with. It may be counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held prejudices. It may not be consonant with what we desperately want to be true. But our preferences do not determine what's true - Carl Sagan

Fuck man... I just live here.
I never signed any contract saying 'I am not an atheist'.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Just checking in, I'm amazed of you professing atheists...I thought all of you "moved to" a communist country already,Russia,Cuba,N.Korea and China all in agreement with your no god belief.

I don't know about a maniac , but this I know, 99% of the 7 billion humans believes in some form of God,while 1% of them believes in no god..betting in horse racing a 99 -1 odds is a real maniac.

Source please. I claim you are lying, due to numerous demographics of non-belief in God.
Also you claim China is entirely "no god" which by default via world population proves your 1% to be untrue.
You have a choice. You are lying about China being predominantly atheist, or you are lying about the 1%. Its one or the other there.

In China, Bhuddists believes in god,and so as Chinese catholics ,and Evangelical christians,Taoism believes in god,Shintoism believes in god, all can be found in Chinese cultures.
