Ah! And my question is, why does your creator have to exist?

Nope. In fact our existence can be explained without magic. Try again.

Fire away...

There is no reason that I can think of for god to exist.

LOL, could you elaborate on that please? You've made quite a solid claim there, what is it based on?
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

To answer the unknown. Some people just can't let the unknown be unknown. They'd rather slap Goddidit all over it.

Tell me one thing you know and how you know it.
James Holmes acted consistent with what evolution teaches. He evolved from an animal, and when he murdered those people, He acted like one. You can't say he's wrong since evolution made him that way.

Evidence.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

Just to be clear. You know there is "evidence", but for what?

If you don't understand the what evidence entails you are unforgivably stupid. Please read a few books that aren't the bible.
