While I agree you can't substantiate an abstract thought, I'm calling out those who claim that God(or zeus or whatever) is a real thing and should be treated as such. If you believe in God, or Mohammed or whatever religion you follow, I fully endorse that and I'm certainly not aiming to belittle that. I AM, however, getting sick of those who believe shoving it in everybody else's face, pushing it as absolute, undeniable truth while failing to back it up.
God is a concept, a human creation...but there are many who insist there really IS a higher power controlling us, a sentient, divine being that is omniscient, onminpresent, and omnipotent.
That's the difference.
So if you know they can't back it up, and you know that God can't be proven, then why are you asking for proof that God exists? This whole thread is one big logic fail.

My point was that Religion itself is a logical failure, at least when it comes to any sort of creation or genesis theories. If they cannot back up their claims with evidence, they should be subject to the same scrutiny that flat-earth theorists were. Or Scientologists. Philisophically speaking, sure, there could be a god, I'm not denying that. Maybe we ARE just a program, maybe we are just a cute little ant farm for a much more intelligent race, I cannot possibly know that, but religions worldwide claim to have the indisputable answers, but are entirely unable to back up their claims. If they want respect, they should earn it, not demand it.
