Hate to break it to you, but the belief in Christ in the majority, and it does help me sleep at night. Thank you.
And no, I'm not presenting anything that has to be disproved, read my original post in this thread and you will see what I'm saying, I'm not saying "GOD EXISTS BELIEVE ME"m even though he does, I was merely pointing out an instance that is common among most atheists (I say most, because every single one I've run across base a lot of their thought process off science, but I'm assuming not all), and the absurdity behind it.
Thank you though for providing your 2cents and showing your arrogance/ignorance by ending with a comment that basically shows your knowledge being the superior knowledge. I'm actually pretty fascinated with people believes, whether it is not with what I believe or it is what I believe. I like to see how people think and their though process, and enjoy this convo quiet bit. The least you could do is post some constructive response rather acting you won some kind of argument that doesn't exist by tell me you hope I sleep better at night.

If your faith actually helps you fall asleep at night, I'm happy for you. Seriously. The world is really not that scary, but if some invisible being in the sky makes you feel better, that's great, keep it up. We all deserve to be happy and content with our short time on this planet.
Second, there are 2 billion christians on the planet and 7 billion people in total. There far more non-christians on the planet than there are christians. You are not in the majority, this is a fact. I'm not interested in debating facts with you.
I'm also not trying to "show that my knowledge is the superior knowledge." I'm trying to explain that my position is based on a lack of knowledge, which is exactly how the scientific method works. You know, the same scientific method that has resulted in all the advances and breakthroughs that make it possible for me to even type this message to you. If someone postulates that a thing exists or operates in a certain way, the burden of proof is on them to offer up evidence to support their position. It does not fall on the shoulders of everyone else to DISPROVE it, as you seem to think.
I'm not even completely discounting the possibility that you could be right! I just choose to believe in the simplest possible explanation behind our existence here, and that doesn't include a magical dude in the sky with some crazy master plan. It does include simple, verifiable, widely agreed upon physical and chemical processes that weren't pulled from a 2000-year-old book. That said, maybe it WAS god (or whoever) who designed those processes specifically so that we would end up where we are now. Nobody can really say with 100% certainty, and anyone who claims to know "the absolute truth" is full of shit. My position is that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. If you can provide some, I'd be glad to be proven wrong. It would certainly make things a lot simpler.
