And believe me, Mrs. Sherwood, when I reiterate that I would truly love debating with you in some fashion or form if it were only possible in the first place. You see, you seem to have been misreading my prior statements – Perhaps, as you said, my “obscurity via verbosity” was *too* well written for a simple-minded dolt such as yourself to understand. With that in mind, I will begin the simple explanation:

You’re stupid. I’m smart. Go away.

You claim to wish for a “debate” regarding your illogical insistence on an antiquated and miserable deity vs. my rational standpoint of fact, truth, and science, but then proceed to claim that I have yet to address your original query. Well, Mrs. Sherwood, I would say that the burden of proof now lies on you – Whereas I have facts and evidence to back up my claims at your so-called “god” not existing, you have yet to offer anything explaining exactly why you carry around this half-baked notion that an intangible whisp of air is watching your every move. You claim that I began this “debate” by denying the existence of your deity, and that much is true – However, to claim that I was the first to break the convention of discussion on the topic is nothing but fallacy. Your “rebumal” to my initial statement included nothing anywhere near the lines of a logical reasoning for your ridiculous notion that some great space ghost aided in the origin of the human race. So by all means, feel free to begin this little masquerade – I await your “proof” of god with baited breath.

How can you prove that there isn’t a God, or multiple Gods, or some other kind of balancing/governing force in the universe?

Even though scientific evidence can disprove some of the major beliefs in world religions, the fact remainds that billions of people in the world all seem to agree that there is a higher power, of some sort. With so many people agreeing that something is out there, how can you really be so sure that there’s nothing?

I don’t really know. But I do feel like without some sort of governing force, there would be no point to human existence. The world is such a terrible place, and to think that there is no point or meaning is terribly depressing.

On the other hand, if ordinary working people were not counting on their suffering to earn them a reward after death, perhaps they would fight harder against the economic and government systems of oppression that prioritize the interests of the wealthy and influential elite…

In any case, I still think that Ms. Sherwood owned you, because you resulted to “You’re stupid. I’m smart. Go away.” as an argument.
