I honestly think it could also be a little bit of an intellectual superiority complex. People think that because they can't see God that He's like the easter bunny or something, and that they are totally enlightened because they "know" He doesn't exist.

It's that simplistic thinking that usually wins on a message board though, right? Noone wants to read 19 paragraphs about why God exists, but they will read that people are stupid for believing something they've never seen.
Excuse me... but didn't we have a discussion about this before?
