"I asked a friend why he does not believe in God. Below is his argument. What do you say?"
••••••••••••••••••••••••
As we've discussed many times, that's essentially Pascal's Wager and has been thoroughly and completely debunked and known to be fallacious reasoning.
You're essentially saying there are only two possibilities: there is no god or your specific god of the Bible exists. You know, we could both be wrong, and the actual god will punish everyone who didn't make it to a height of 6.5 ft. or more, which makes as much sense as being punished for not believing things without evidence.
I can't "fake it until I make it." I am fundamentally wired to require evidence before I can accept something. If your god made me that way, and will then punish me for how it made me, then I would want no part in such a morally bankrupt being, even if I knew it to exist. You and I are both morally superior to such a monster. So why should we sacrifice our humanity to worship something so evil? There's something, or more like everything, fundamentally flawed about that whole scenario. The Bible is wrong about so many things, it makes no sense to trust any claims it makes. I must look at the evidence, and see where it leads me.

This is what I wrote:
My answer is much shorter and it's very simple. Here it is and before you throw it out, I suggest trying something you probably never did before: THINK.
God is just another word for magic. Magic is not real therefore magic god fairies and Easter Bunnies are impossible.
That's it. This is not rocket science.
I could add one more thing. Here in the 21st century we know things these days. We know your magic god fairy of the gaps has run out of hiding places. We don't know everything there is to know, but we know enough to be 100% certain your fairy was never necessary for anything. A god fairy that never did anything is a fairy that doesn't exist.
Another one more thing:
I can't imagine any fantasy that is more childish than the idea there is a magical creature with unlimited magical powers hiding somewhere in the universe. It's ridiculous. This is Easter Bunny stuff. The god-soaked need to grow up and face facts. Supernatural magic requires throwing out all of reality. The problem for you insane people is reality can't be thrown out.
Your brain damage might be curable. You should at least try to fix it. It's a terrible waste of a life to spend it being completely wrong about everything.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne

A fvcktard for Jeebus asked about what his atheist friend wrote which was well done. This is what he wrote and also what I wrote.
