God damn it, fucking fail. I hate people like you.
>Allow me to elaborate. It is completely impossible for anyone to really know if God exists or not.
No atheist debates this. Despite how intelligent you might feel after such an eye-opening discovery, everyone but you is already well aware of the painfully obvious fact that a greater being who magically covers up his tracks is not falsifiable.
>It is for this reason that anyone who claims that God does not exist is a complete idiot, and the same goes for those who claim God does exist.
That's quite a leap. It's also very wrong.
A God who magically changes the universe and covers his tracks is not actually relevant to the universe. For example, my cat could have created the universe yesterday and implanted all our memories. Does this matter? No. Does it affect my life in any way? No. Should I assume my cat has some moral code I should follow and attempt to guess what it is? No. The cat may as well not even exist; it doesn't matter.
Unfalsifiable == Irrelevant. These are not the gods we talk about when we call ourselves atheists.
>Atheists claim to be intellectually superior to religious people, but in reality, atheists are exactly the same as they are, only instead of having blind faith in the existence of a higher power, they have blind faith in the nonexistence of a higher power.
No. Read this next paragraph carefully, because it's important:
Religious people believe in a God who is aware of their existence, cares about and will reward or punish their actions, and gives them instructions in order for them to follow his moral code. This means their God interacts with, or has at some point interacted with the universe in a measurable way.
Hey, guess what: such a God is falsifiable! Not only that, but such Gods have already been falsified by research in fields such as evolution; massive disproof of gaping sections of the Bible (for example) shows that the contents are not divinely inspired, but rather the nonsensical ramblings of a bunch of cave-dwellers who barely figured out that they shouldn't shit in their food.
So no, I'm not an idiot when I say God doesn't exist.
Also, I don't have a cat. I fucking hate cats.
