A crazy person might honestly BELIEVE he is Napoleon, or from another planet. Doesn't make it so, my boy.
Repeat after me...BELIEFS ARE NOT FACTS OR KNOWLEDGE!!!!
Humans have debated for untold millenia whether there was one God, many gods, or no gods. This is not a subject that can be solved by empirical proof. Many brilliant people have believed in God, such as Albert Einstein and Sir Isaac Newton. Many other brilliant people have been atheists, such as Sigmund Freud and Pierre Curie.
Believe in whatever you want. Just grow up and accept that beliefs and facts are NOT the same things.

Why do you desire to tell a lie (as indicated above) by continuing in your attempt to dissuade others in regard to what is being brought to their attention from the onset of this thread? Do you NOT know your own mind? Does NOT your word mean anything to you? Have you NO honor? Have you NO self-respect?
Based upon the number of posts you have made on this thread alone regarding 'religion', gives evidence that you are "interest"ed in the discussion/debate.
The thread was NOT formulated to inspire an absolute dialog between just you and me. I was actually hoping that the 'religion' aspect of it would drive you away -- I mean after all, you did say that "It just does not interest me.", speaking in reference to discussion/debate of 'religion'.
I presume that you are chronologically a 'grown up', so there is no point in suggesting that you 'grow up', but I would suggest that you look internally very deeply and find the solution to your problem that you have in controlling your tongue (analogously speaking -- we all know that it is really your fingers that are doing the talking), but then again, perhaps it might be suggestive that you visit the High Priest of your system of worship and ask that he/she/it give you spiritual guidance.
I will pray for your recovery from this dreadful condition.
