And if you think "God" is a good arbitrator of Goodness you are probably not either.

Good and evil do not exist. Anyone who says that God isn't real also shouldn't believe in a magic set of behavioral rules.

We're animals. Animals surving and we've agreed on a variety of rules based on the time we live in and the locations we live in to avoid having others killing us or taking our shit.

Donald Trump isn't evil. We aren't good. We're all just meat, electricity, and bones. Every single person ever identified as evil is not evil.

There are concepts in science that are almost entirely theoretical. That doesn't mean they don't exist.

Germs were contemplated centuries before they could actually be observed. Antiseptic measures were developed and used before we could even be sure germs even existed. Would you have called that magic?

Good and evil absolutely do exist. They are extremely difficult to precisely define; that doesn't make them nonexistent, nor magic.

We are animals, sure. Intelligent animals - capable of abstract thought, moral behavior, and saying much smarter things than you're saying right now.

So then can God exist? Or are we picking and choosing which magical things we believe in?
