Of course he exists. It is just that some people have the hardware to detect him and others do not. Those that do not have detecting the Divine systems have been given excelling at pompous windbaggery systems.

Well, since you asked let's wait and see if something invisible and omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent , reads the question and replies.

Well God's kind of a dick for creating people like that, then sending people to hell for it.

Ahh the old since the Almighty can be mean sometimes, then I won't jump into his camp routine. On Judgement Day, you will not question him but he will question you.

And I will ask him, "God why are you such a prick?" My point was it's very unfair to create people not to notice him and then send them to hell for it, but I wouldn't expect you to understand because you are blinded by your delusions. Judgement day is just a myth propagated to keep people in fear. Of course you probably think that on Judgement Day you will be one of the chosen few, because religious people that preach like you are just elitist assholes who dislike anyone that doesn't belong to their 'club.' So to make yourself feel better you believe that God is on your side, but if God truly existed, he would wipe his hands clean of pompous, arrogant, religious folk like yourself. Get off your high horse.

Right. Dawkins said that certain people had that religious meme, and many others have taken that further. It really does seem that some people are predisposed to the religious lunacy, and others are not."

I believe, Faith, that the sentiment you're expressing has been summed up very eloquently in the sentence "created ill, and then commanded to be well" Hitch (though he may not be the originator on that one, a lot of his soundbytes are from other sources)
Nevertheless, that any particular god is a bastard isn't really a reason not to believe. More a reason to wonder about the happy and devout followers.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I'm sorry Frodo, your argument must have been lost in the posting process.
BTW, is that avatar a picture of you? Impressive tats if it is, I've always loved the sentiment behind that gesture, it's an epic way to intimidate an enemy.
