People are stupid. It's as simple as that. They'll believe anything, 
either because they want it to be real, or because they're afraid it 
might be.

The -BELIEF- in God is just that. A belief. Just as the belief in a lack 
of a God is also just that. There is no proof for either case, that can 
be openly and unquestionably presented as fact for either idea. The lack 
of known proof, does not mean it is not real. It could simply mean 
you've been looking in the wrong place.

It goes both ways. In the end, no matter the beliefs, it is a matter of 
faith. Either you believe there is a God, or you believe there is not 
one, or you're simply undecided. All without solid and unquestioned 
evidence in any direction. That is where a belief is faith. A belief 
without proof. A hunch, or a gut feeling, when followed upon, is faith. 
Sometimes, it leads to a positive result, and some see that as a psychic 
instinct, while others see it as the whim of their God. It still doesn't 
provide for the burden of proof.

So, stop this spam-filled BS, with everyone bitching about everyone 
else, when none of you have solid proof in the direction they're 
fighting for. For those who say there is no God, either provide solid, 
secure evidence that God does not and cannot exist, or shut up. For 
those who say there is, either provide the divine proof that there is a 
God or Gods, in some way that there are no questions, or go to Hell. To 
continue this debate is as pointless and empty as the heads of those who 
are trying to debate it in either direction, thus proving my opening 
statement.
