“I don’t hate God. I just don’t believe He exists.”
There is no greater contempt that you can have for other person than to, in their presence, deny that they exist. That's what you are doing.

Except that the cop obviously does exist, you would be able to hear the sound of his car or motorcycle engine coming to a stop behind you, the sound of his approaching footsteps of his voice saying "Sir, I'm sorry but your vehicle is illegally parked I'm going to have to write you a ticket."
When your god can provide me with that level of proof then I will start considering believing that he might be what you theists claim.
THEY....CAN'T....SEE....OR....FEEL....GODDE....YOU....BANANAS-FOR-BRAINS!
You can prove a cop exists! You can't prove a deity exists....
....and I'm saying this as a spiritual person, myself!
"There is no greater contempt that you can have for other person than to, in their presence, deny that they exist."
I dunno, my contempt for you after your banana story is pretty high.
Funny you should use a visual metaphor like this, Ray. See you also believe that atheists believe there really is a God and just say they don't so they can sin. Which assumes they sin in some way, making it a slanderous accusation. Something damned in the Bible. But the thing is just as pretending you don't see a cop doesn't mean you won't get busted it wouldn't do much to stop a damnation happy God from judging you, meaning that's a line of thought that only makes sense to the greatest of morons.
The number plate has been noted down & put on a database. The documents demanding payment of fines or court proceedings will be sent.
Try denying that Justice doesn't exist when you've been arrested for not turning up to court after non-payment of fines. Strange non-existent handcuffs or jail cell.
The police/judge exists.
I don't hate your brain & it's thought processes, I just don't acknowledge that it exists, Ray Cumfart. Because if this is the best you can come up with as an 'analogy', then that's sufficient evidence to back up my claim.
I accept that Morgan Freeman is God. And he's a wise & cool deity; certainly one too wise & cool to even think the way yours does.

The above is an example of a good analogy.
Did you know that Scarlett Johansson is God? Also, she is the Second Coming? Just watch the films "Lucy" and "Ghost in the Shell". Visual evidence. Now prove me wrong, Banana Boy.
There's a difference between simply believing something doesn't exist (which will usually lead to them believing it does if they're shown proof - and I mean actual proof, none of this quoting the Bible to prove the Bible bullshit that doesn't fly for anything else in the universe) and actively denying their existence. Just look at Ken Ham or any other creationist "scientist" we've ever quoted here going after Bill Nye or some other actual scientist for daring to prove him wrong.
And, y'know, there's also a difference between proving the existence of a guy standing right fucking behind you and the existence of a deity who has, as far as I can recall, not once made an actual physical appearance.
Except that, you know, I can actually see that cop, hear him, smell him, touch him... Hell, I can even sense the effects he has on me by writing me a ticket or throwing me in cuffs. As far as I can tell, none of those things apply to god. If god really wants us to acknowledge his existence, then he should probably directly affect numerous of our senses.
However, Bananaman, this does apply to you and your homos hetero sexual life partners (Hambone and Tomato Boy). We keep presenting you with tangible evidence of our beliefs, yet you people keep denying they exist in their very presence. Showing you have nothing but contempt for us and our beliefs.
Ray you do realize that the cop would have his lights flashing and possibly siren going. The guy would be stupid to deny cop exists. Your god on the other hand, well you are disrespecting other deities by denying they exist. If you're ok with that you're a hypocrite and failed Jesus. If not, then this had no point. Choose well
Stupid analogy, because you can actually see a police officer standing next to you. God, not so much.
And if God wants me to believe in him he'd better reveal himself to me and show that he actually does exist. Since he doesn't do that, I'm assuming that if God exists, he wants me to be an atheist.
I mean, when God starts flashing his red & blue overheads in my rear view mirror, then I'll stop for him. Until then, I'll continue to keep believing that he was totally made up by stupid, superstitious people who wanted to control other stupid, superstitious people.
Don't you deny the existence of Bastet, Odin, Freya, Quetzalcoatl, Allah and Shiva? Do you have contempt for them?
But there's evidence that the cop exists.
But if the only "evidence" of the cop was some looney screaming about how we're all going to jail because some invisible cop is watching us all the time, tallying up our violations of laws he made up, and that we can find out all about it from some 2000+ year old book of rehashed bronze age mythology about cops? No.
Well, if his god is indeed a cop behind my back, he is doing a lousy job, because I still haven't received the fine.
Par for the course for a ray Comfort 'point'.
It's not just Ray floating this crap either, a lot of Fundamentalists insist God is just obvious. We see dozens here a year who do just that, no followup or explanation of why it's obvious, just the assertion, in a nutshell that's really what religions all about, the insistence that something is real without any evidence.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
