I don't *know* any such thing, though I'm quite happy to admit it as possibility, even a strong likelihood. The reason I don't know whether they're a reality or a figment of the imagination is simply that there is no evidence pointing either way. > And the god is showering this world with diseases, right? Why is that? I'll leave that one for the theologians. I'm not arguing for the God hypothesis, just pointing out that it is one that has not been either proven or disproven. The similarity between atheists and theists is not what they believe, but their willingness to insist that they have a monopoly on the truth, despite their inability to provide any proof or even decent evidence either way.
