God does not exist!

what richard dawkins said on a recent colbert report, is very useful... a
large majority of people on earth believe in a God... nothing wrong with
that... anyone can believe in anything... and no one can disprove the
existence of God... however, no one can disprove the existence of the Loch
Ness monster, nor can anyone disprove the existence of the Pagan Gods nor
pretty much any other belief! that's why it's called a belief!

so, if someone says that God exists, but the Pagan Gods don't, well, they're
just contradicting themselves.. reminds me very much of bsg, where the humans
believe in the gods (plural), while the cylons believe in the one true god
(singular)... incidentally, the cylons are supposed to be the bad guys in
bsg... but that's beside the point...

anyway, as a buddhist, i do not believe in a God or Gods... and i'm not in the
business of trying to convince others of my belief... let them belief
whatever they want to... i'm just humoured when some random person tries to
convince me that God does exist... simply because, they can neither prove,
nor disprove that God exists... so, let's just leave it at that and move
on...

oh, then, when i tell these people that i'm a buddhist, quite often, they tell
me that there's no such thing as re-incarnation... that's right... there's no
such thing as re-incarnation... buddhists don't believe in re-incarnation
either... a quick lookup on wikipedia will instantly confirm this... but
there-in lies a common problem.. often, people who have taken the leap of
faith necessary to believe in a God, are usually unable to step back and take
a proper objective look at anything else but..

so, i put to you that there is no God.. and since you can't prove that one
does exist, please do not try to convince me otherwise..
