My point being, I’m saying God doesn’t exist. I’m not saying faith doesn’t exist. I know faith exists. I see it all the time. But believing in something doesn’t make it true. Hoping that something is true doesn’t make it true. The existence of God is not subjective. He either exists or he doesn’t. It’s not a matter of opinion. You can have your own opinions. But you can’t have your own facts.Ricky Gervais via h3h

I'm a better agnostic than atheist at this point1, but I resonate strongly with the sentiment that wishing really hard doesn't make something true.

1 not only is the notion of a god unscientific and untestable by design, I also don't care enough to bother
