I just finished Dawkins's "The God Delusion" and am now very angry about everything.

Everyone should read it, even - especially - those currently deluded.

On the plus point I know what to get my mother for her birthday.

If Moses had been given tablets for the voices in his head, we might all have been spared a lot of trouble.

Mind you, if God turns up and picks a fight with you in a pub (Exodus 4:24) that might be regarded as more definite proof of his existence.

"I see three of you! Which one do I punch first.. But wait! The three are one"

but if I were to swing and miss, would that disprove G*ds existance? :)

I'd go for the Holy Ghost who's obviously a bit of a wuss but poses some threat, especially of unexpected impregnation. Jesus is no trouble at all because with nail holes he can neither punch nor kick effectively, unless he thinks of turning all the water in your body into wine - he's obviously like one of those crippled superheroes with amazing mental powers.

Dawkins quotes a lovely twist on the ontological argument which disproves God's existence (inasmuch as the ontological argument proves anything at all) by pointing out that creating the universe while not existing would obviously be much harder than doing so while existing and hence a God who could do so would be more perfect.

I have always had a secret sympathy for the ontological argument, since it can also be used to "prove" the existence of the Space Battleship _Yamato_.

what? what do you mean prove the existance of the space battleship Yamato, if it didnt exist, the the marriage of Kodai + Yuki is.. gasp! a SHAM! NOOOOO!

We beat the comet empire when we destroyed Haleys comet. Everyone knows that. Thats why NASA went to the moon to get it before the Russians did.

Next you will be trying to convice me its not protoculture powering my subaru.

Precisely why we are fortunate to have the ontological argument come to our rescue.
