From Thomas Jefferson;

"Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. Ideas must be distinct before reason can act upon them; and no man ever had a distinct idea of the trinity. It is the mere Abracadabra of the mountebanks calling themselves the priests of Jesus."
-- Thomas Jefferson, letter to Francis Adrian Van der Kemp July 30, 1816.

What Jefferson said here was very simple; If there is a ridiculous statement made (IE, that god exists) then the ONLY reaction must be Ridicule. It is perfectly reasonable that we ridicule and make fun of your childish notion that there is a god.
Until you come up with ONE single, solitary shred of credible and verifiable evidence that supports the existence of your sky-pixie, expect the ridicule to continue. As Jefferson suggested.
Paula,
apparently the point of the question evaded you entirely. You have NO evidence to support your ridiculous idea, so, ridicule is what you deserve.
As for your threats, puh-lease. Get over yourself ok?
 
I dont agree at all
how is it right to make fun of anyone because of what they believe ?

unless it is only to make YOU feel good
 
Another example of how anyone can quote anything to make themselves feel good about actions that they would see are wrong if they took a moment to think about it. Even the Bible is used for this.
I am sure you believe things that I would ridicule, but I won't.
As far as proof, you probably wouldn't believe it if I told you, so I wish you a happy life and will go on my way.
 
Hear! Hear! Well quoted sir!
Where did your southern neighbours go so badly wrong after that?
