Unsure if relevant, since this is a meme post, but for anyone interested: faith is quite a complex concept. And this silly atheist vs religious conflict is so pointless. It does nothing but elevate some people's egos and infuriate others.
Sadly, both sides are heavily uninformed. Most atheists spent at most 3 seconds studying religion, while most religious people never questioned a single thing about their religion. How can you understand somebody and their point of view, if you haven't even imagined yourself in their shoes, let alone walked in them?
Short story is: to 'believe' in God, or any other religious entity, does not mean 'to think He exists'. In fact, you can 'believe' in any god, while being completely convinced they don't exist. Fact and faith are fully separate.
At least some confusion here is intentionally created by religious institutions, like the Catholic Church. Most of what they do goes against the Bible and Jesus' teachings, but it's not like they care. Focusing on Christianity here, because that's what I studied the most (my country is Christian). Same applies to Judaism and Islam. Other religions less, since these three have the biggest, most organized official structures (massive red flag in case it wasn't obvious).
Anyway, I invite everyone to read about and learn their so-called enemies' ways instead of blindly ridiculing them.
First, paragraph breaks. Please use them.
Second, that isn't how everyone feels. That is how you feel. People do in fact find it utterly hypocritical to see one thing one way and not the other and then claim to have knowledge above anyone else.
Third, aliens are more likely than gods. Mathematically speaking.
Added paragraph breaks and will try to use them actively.
As mentioned in another reply, I was referring to the base idea, and not to what people think or feel. Perhaps I failed to convey that effectively.
Probably true. Hard to say for certain, but as far as I can tell, 'aliens' are practically guaranteed to exist, while gods are the opposite.
