conclude that it is correct to believe in a world without a god of any kind? This idea of a world without a god is one myth out of the number, diversity and variety of myths made possible by our creative abilities and powers of imagination.

Uh, dude, any god is a creation of the imagination. How come animals, who were here before us, don't worship God? Religion is a man-created institution. I hate to break it to you....

The burden of proof lies with the claimant.
If I tell you that there is a giant washing machine in a heaven-like place that is dictating my every move and I now must stand on 2cm from your right hand side ALL day long, would it be up to you to prove there is no such washing machine god? Would you allow me to stand 2cm from your right hand side ALL day long while I remarked on your religion and preached about the washing machine of love ALL day long?
No you would common sense to realise that I made it up and I have no right to be there unless I could prove my washing machine god's existence. The earth used to be flat, germs didnt exist and people have moved on. However, during the time up till the discovery of germs did they actually not exist or were we simply be ignorant of them?
According to your logic, until science proved the existence of the germ they did not exist.
Until we knew the world was spherical, it was flat.
It's next to impossible to prove the non-existence of things so you will have your god for a very long time yet, dont worry.
I wonder, how entertained to you get trying to catch out the fridge light bulb?

There were no atheists until after there were theists. Before man invented religion and belief in god, there was no one running around saying that god does not exist. Atheism is nothing more than the rejection of theism.

A Christian talking here. I look up to the sky and see the beauty God has put there. Some people look up and see nothing, the same thing that is in there minds. Strange to me that non-believers can feel love from somebody but they can't see it, They just know it exists. Hummmm.

You are confused.
To not believe in one Myth hardly means that you must believe in another Myth.
Wake Up!

Yes. simply this. If there is NO tangible evidence for something, then it is logical simply to believe that it doesn't exist. ANYTHING else defies logic! There is NO tangible evidence for unicorns, so it is logical to believe they don't exist. There is no tangible evidence for leprechauns, so it is logical to believe they don't exist. There is no tangible evidence for Zeus, so it is logical to believe that he doesn't exist.
You are getting into this myth thing again. Are you SURE you understand what that word means???

Can you find any evidence that it is correct to believe in a world without a flying spaghetti monster of any kind?
Just because it can't be disproven doesn't mean its rational to assume there is one.

Yes, there isn't one showing it's face yet. Until one show it's face, I think it is more logical to believe in reality.

Again, the disproval is not required by us when there is no there is no evidence to counter.
