ALL AND I DO MEAN ALL religions exist not based on evidence, but on marketing. They compete and succeed or fail based on that, not evidence. In evolutionary terms that placebo creates safety in numbers and allows for more opportunity to make offspring, but the downside to that is that you can group around a complete falsehood. If you accept Muslims group around a falsehood, then I would say that your claim and your religion is the same flawed perceptions humans cling to that lead to all religions.
The only difference between the atheist and the believer is that well reject one more god than you do. Understand why you reject all other god claims then you can understand why we reject yours as well.

I'd tap that.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.

Depends on whether the entertainment centre is only half finished and surrounded by scaffolding and tarpaulins.
