I tried to reply earlier, but my post went to oblivion, I guess. That's ok. I'm done arguing with people who only believe what they want to. Faith and hope are two entirely different things.

That especially applies to you!!! Because science is beginning to support some of the major religions as you can see here!!!
So what I'm talking about is not faith or hope...

Done here. My life has suddenly gotten a bit too busy for this circular, manipulative, antilogic. Buh bye.

Gods dont exist, we know this through logic.
The fact that we do not know everything is irrelevent, since no one needs to be omniscient to know that 2+2=4. It is an illogical characteristic that nothing can possess.
Can a deity make a rock bigger than it can lift?
If so, it cannot lift it. If it cannot lift it, it is not omnipotent. If it cannot make a rock bigger than it can lift, it is not omnipotent because it cannot create a rock it can't lift.
Through this simple use of logic, we know everything is bound by the laws of logic.

I didn't accuse you anytime of thinking all believers are idiots. You're lying.

What a crybaby. You can't win so you run away and leave an insult.
It's upsetting when you believe that you are totally right but you can't prove that you are isn't it?
It seems that two young newlyweds were preparing to enjoy their first baked ham dinner in their new apartment. After unwrapping the meat and setting it on the cutting board, the wife chopped off both ends of the ham with a butcher knife, tossing the two small ends in the garbage can. "Wait a minute," said the mystified husband. "Why did you do that? Why did you just cut off the ends of the ham like that?"
"I don't know. My mother always did," answered the wife. "Maybe it helps bring out the flavor." Unsatisfied with this answer, the husband called his mother-in-law. "Can you tell me why you cut the two ends off a ham before you cook it?"
"Well," said the mother, "I'm not really sure why. That's just the way my mother did her ham, and it was always delicious."
As soon as he hung up he called his wife's grandmother. "Grandma, we have an important question for you. Can you tell us why you cut the ends off a ham before you cook it?"
"Oh my yes, dear," answered Grandma in her quiet, thin voice. "I cut the ends of the ham off so it would fit in my pan."

Did all these puzzle pieces just randomly fall together? Did it just happen alone? If you take a 1 trillion piece jugsaw puzzle and dump it out, what are the odds that it will fall into place exactly, without having to be assembled?
The odds are quite infinitesimal, I assure you.
