I agree with you here, Alex. The "conclusions" arrived at by the narrator there were as fallacious and idiotic as those of the religions he was mocking. You could just as easily replace his "God is imaginary" argument with, "God is an iguana: he likes bugs, not people!"
Growing up Roman Catholic I was always told the God is infinite, no beginning and no end. A nice, simple way to avoid figuring out where he came from in my mind. But if God can be infinite, why can't the universe? Why does it have to have a beginning and an end?On the flip side can an atheist really fully explain faith healing, how the universe began and how it will end (e.i. infinity), exactly what happens to our energy when it leaves our bodies, and all those other unanswered questions?
Exactly! These hard-core atheists are as dogged and dogmatic in their disbelief as the theists are in their belief! It's just religion in another guise.What always intrigues with these kinds of discussions/debates is that the very thing theists and atheists have in common is they’re dogged believe that they are so right and the other side is so wrong.
