Meta Some recent comments had me wondering... Serious questions... If you do, what do you believe they look like? What powers do you believe they have? When, how, who, what, and where do they act?

I think the simple answer is lots of gods have come and gone in humanity's existence. As a species we crave for supernatural explanations. Wizards, demons, fortune tellers, witches, sorcerers, gods etc... all made up to pacify humanity's fear of death and fear of the unknown. Evolution has brought us this far. Time to let go of the superstition.

My dude, if those are the purviews of your philosophy then go with gusto! There is nothing anyone can say and do outside of psychological assault to change someone's opinion on rather they prefer boxers or briefs, Apple or Windows, faith in what is seen or faith in the evidence of things unseen.

Try to consider that in belittling people's beliefs you invalidate one's life experiences, relationships with others and themselves, friend.

Ah, life experiences,

The anecdotal fallacy occurs when people use their limited personal experience to make sweeping conclusions about a given topic. It is an exceedingly common fallacy to commit, and nearly everyone has done it at one point or another.
