If 96% of the universe is out of our reach, sight and comprehension, then how is it so legit for a non believer to just exclude the existence of a creator 7 times bigger than the 96% ?

Isn't it identical to a blind man in a dark castle with a mere cane; who claims that they already know if the castle has a lord or not?

I'm sorry; not a "castle"; rather a "whole galaxy".

If 96% of the universe is out of our reach, sight and comprehension, then how is it so legit for a believer to just exclude the possibility that a celestial alligator has already killed, dismembered, Eastern, digested your creator and shat out its remains?

You can believe in the celestial alligator if you want to. I promise not to obsess over your belief like a crazy person.

Usually celestial alligator believers aren't trying to codify their beliefs into law, teach them in schools, violate legal constitutionality, and indoctrinating kids with Lord Gator's Holy Scaliness.

If the Gatorites were doing that, you might have an issue with it.

Yeah, I knew that you would go there. You're a hero!

I use the design around me to conclude his existence.
A non-believer should do the same and admit that they are also following a mere conclusion.

And both of us should wait until God rules between us. I say he's there; you say he's not.
That is said to both believers and non-believers; btw.

I also say its there and that it's very upset with you deliberately ignoring it for your false idol. Bless.

Yea, pretty damned sure that if a majority did exist that believed in a "celestial alligator" were basing government law on that belief, and justifying discrimination on such a belief, you'd rightfully have a problem with that.

It isn't a matter of banning religion, as if one could on a planet of 7  billion. But yea, I do have a problem with religious based laws that set up social pecking orders, just like both you and I would have a hard time living in Saudi Arabia or Iran whom do base government law on social pecking orders.

Please stop falsely assuming because an atheist objects to bad logic, or religious laws, that we are anti human rights.

I value human rights, but I damned sure at the same time am going to question bad logic at the same time.
