There are certainly things beyond our comprehension, but that doesn't mean we should make up fairy tales to explain it and then preach them as facts.

Yea man. Or to decide that someone is bad base based on how they intemperate their own fairy tales.. or that they like one fairy tale better than another fairy tail, simply because it was the first fairy tail that they were told when they were 2 years old.
or decide to kill in the name of someone who told that to because if they did it in the name of that persons fairy tale they would get magic rewards and if they didn't they would get much worse, for eternity.
I mean its all pretty dumb when you look it objectively.
But my mom said when I was 13 while I was acting like a know it all teenage philosopher,
'LOOK I JUST DONT WANT TO LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE I HAVE TO BELIEVE MY MOTHER AND FATHER ARE JUST GONE OK'. I felt terrible and never tried to argue with her about religion again. But my mom was a good person.
Although on being a good person, she voted Yes on Prop 8 in California (Which limited a lot of peoples freedoms) because she saw a commercial on TV that said that prop 8 would directly rob the church of money (which was a blatant lie). So even good people can be easily charmed by someone selling snake oil. Which is the very reason anti-religion Atheists are outspoken about being anti religion.
I'm not calling anyone right or wrong, you're free to believe in whatever you want. But until Atheists start rounding up religious people and killing them simply because they cant figure out how to convince them that religion is bad - they have a much better track record when it comes to arguing about the Y/N existence of god.
