"The lack of proof is not proof that something doesn't exist"

This could be argued in many cases, but I don't think that religion or common existence is one of them. There is no proof that unicorns exist - no one has ever seen one, found one's bones, had pictures or video, and so it is safe to assume that they do not exist. This is not a leap of faith or wild guess, it is simple logic. No one has proof that a God exists either (feelings and thoughts are easily manipulated, misunderstood, mistranslated, so they cannot be allowed to count as proof or evidence), so it is reasonable to assume that one does not exist.

The natural state of humans is to NOT believe, unless given reason not to. This is because it is almost ALWAYS right. Once again-- there COULD be a God, but no solid, documentable proof has ever been offered up to suggest there is one, so why believe?

The answer for most is probably going to be "because I feel that there is one." But if that's all you have, don't waste my time with it, because in my mind it is not valid. Billions of people have "felt" the presence of thousands of gods in thousands of forms, and still more have felt none at all. They can't all be right, and a "feeling" is not proof that something else is making you feel it. The want can be so great that you invent the feeling yourself. Other people can lie and manipulate you into feeling. Feelings are not proof.
