imagine a teapot in space, orbiting the earth. how would you prove it exists to the average person here on earth? it is so small, that no telescope would spot it. there would be no practical way to prove that it exists. yet you believe its there. you were the only one in the world who believes in that teapot orbiting the earth.
most likely, everyone would consider you to be crazy. now, imagine that millions of people believed that the teapot was in space, orbiting the earth. you had people to back you up, yet there was still no practical way of proving its existance. most likely, only some people would think you were crazy, but many people would not... perhaps the government believed you were not.
you couldnt prove or disprove the existance of the teapot, but you fervently believed it was up there.
the so-called god is much like the so-called teapot. there is no practical way to prove or disprove its existance.
can you agree that this teapot is like a god?
