That's not really the same thing. I don't believe in the Abrahamic God because I believe it has certain self-contradictory traits. For example, how can it be both omniscient and omnipotent? If it knows everything it's going to do in the future, does it have the power to change it's mind? Does it even have free will if it already knows what it's going to do?

But I cannot possibly contradict all the thousands and thousands of different conceptualizations for gods that people have come up with. When I say I don't believe in God I mean it in the same way that I don't believe there's an invisible unicorn in my room. I can't prove there is no invisible unicorn, but it seems so incredibly unlikely that I can rule it out for all practical purposes, especially since there's no evidence to suggest the unicorn is here. Shouldn't the unicorn be knocking things over? Shouldn't God be intervening in our world in measurable ways?
I suggest you stop making this small attemts of putting down others faith. I do not try to force my faith on you so leave my faith alone. Their is a line at which debate and being a plan asshole is made. Your starting to cross that line.
If you don't want to discuss beliefs, feel free to leave the Spirituality forum. But here, we talk about our different worldviews and why we think the way we do. I happen to think that the world would be a much better place if people stopped making shit up and believing in it so fervently. Of course everybody has the right to believe in whatever they want, but that means I have the right to believe that it's stupid to believe in things for which there is no evidence. When you can explain to me the difference between believing in things for which there is no evidence and making shit up (or copying stuff other people have made up), maybe I will let up on this faith stuff. But the two are absolutely indistinguishable.
Observing will only get you so far, much about this world you can not observe.
What's the point in wasting our time guessing about what things might exist that we can't observe? If we can't observe them, they have no impact whatsoever upon our lives, and there's nothing to suggest they even exist. And when one person pretends that he's right and everybody else is wrong about the unobservable, that is what causes conflict which often turns violent. I just want to prevent that by encouraging people to embrace critical thinking over blind faith.
