You take God's non-existence on pure faith friend. Let me prove it to you. Draw a little dot on a piece of paper and let the dot represent you. Now draw a circle around the dot. Let that space within the circle represent ALL of your knowledge. All space OUTSIDE the circle will be all of the knowledge outside of your awareness. We must conclude from this if we be reasonable that your knowledge constitutes a very small fraction of the possible knowledge to be known about the universe (let us say, .0000001%). Now then, I ask you: Is it posssible that God could exist outside of your circle of knowledge?

Very amusing conceit. While there might be room for several gods out there, nothing establishes that your particular BrandName god is there. Isn't that the point of "faith"?

Yes. Possible. There are infinite possibilities outside of that circle. Let us assume that you possess the same infinitely small circle of knowledge. Maybe slightly bigger, maybe slightly smaller, but regardless infinitely small. Now then, I ask you: Is it possible that God does not exist outside your circle of knowledge? Will you concede the same lack of understanding of the universe that I just did or are you divine in wisdom?
