Believing in one over the other is really personal preference. I, for example, am an atheist, but only because I find it more interesting to ponder how the metaphysical realm within which we dwell came to be lacking the presence of any divine creator.

People need to understand this shit. Arguing your religious beliefs and claiming them to be any more logical than that of another's would be like arguing over the chance of life existing elsewhere in the galaxy.

Shit can't be proven, at least, as of now.
