I don't say without a doubt, I think it is possible we are figures in a computer world. Our universe at its core is composed of pixels-lol! Or toys for sentient beings. But a personal god--not a chance!

And I can say without a reasonable doubt all the personal gods were made up by people who did not even know the earth was round; and when you read their "bibles" they are simplistic and misogynistic , racist and filled with nonsense; except Buddhism which is more of a profound philosophy.

But even it is misogynistic. And yes people often use it for comfort and many good people think it is the path to being a good person; but at this moment we need to face reality to survive--

the rapture is not coming-lol. Although we may see the end of the earth. We need to save ourselves and we cannot do it with ignorance as our co-pilot.

We evolved from primates. How much evidence does one need??

<<Why is it so hard to imagine that humanoids from the beginning of time, and even today, wonder that there may be a higher power, other than just flesh and bone, especially considering the wonders of nature and the wonders and magnificence of life forms... to say that you KNOW without a doubt is a bit close minded.

Also, no doubt many downtrodden and persecuted people throughout history prayed to a "god" just to get them through the day, believing that in the end there is a good that overcomes evil.

Even Einstein was not a dogmatic atheist
