Ricky Gervais Quote

Why don't you believe in God? I get that question all the time. I always try to give a sensitive, reasoned answer. This is usually awkward, time consuming and pointless. People who believe in God don't need proof of his existence, and they certainly don't want evidence to the contrary. They are happy with their belief. They even say things like it's true to me and it's faith. I still give my logical answer because I feel that not being honest would be patronizing and impolite. It is ironic therefore that I don't believe in God because there is absolutely no scientific evidence for his existence and from what I've heard the very definition is a logical impossibility in this known universe comes across as both patronizing and impolite.
