Awesome.
I have to say it seems to me you believe in an imaginary enemy. Do you really know people who dissaprove smugly of a child's belief in an imaginary friend, whilst - 10 points for using this adverb however - going to 'visit' their once a week? And the implied notion that theists would be more likely to be smug about this behavior in a child?
Are we not hallucinating a tad?
Well, as per my discussion with Glaucon elsewhere on the issue of empiricism. Since all conclusions within empiricism are about probabilities, are you really saying that you do not think God's existence is improbable?

No. I think Gods existence is unbelievably improbable, but I can't know if it's impossible.

Hmm, good point .
Not really, people do that all the time. If someone says something you don't agree with, and you find it important enough to tell them, these kind of arguments arise.
What's so funny about that? It exists in the minds of people who act on these ideas in sometimes very bad ways.
It's funny because the motivation behind atheism is to spend more quality time with the family and the physical world.
probably?
I think the funnest thing about religion is well religion. Enough said i think.
I find nothing funny about religion.
Human condition of knowing that one day, one beautiful day we will die and the next day others will continue as if our one precious life didn't die yesterday. This ain't a funny knowledge.
Having the need to make up for a life time of suffering in a better another life, is also not so funny.
In short, the need for religion is not funny.
Using religion for power and control is also not funny.
From a non-believer's point of view, religion is a very serious thing.
