You cannot prove the existence of love, hate, envy, etc. You can only

They are emotions/mental state and proved when displaying the act of
that emotion. Religious belief is also a mental state and simply proves
ones belief in indoctrinated dogma. Apples to oranges comparison when
trying to prove it to a physical entity.
You are entirled to your strong opinion. That said, so are all those
who would respectfully dissagree with you. Have the courtesy to
"respectfully" disagree instead of disrespecting and trashing
everything you do not understand or agree with.

Have you noticed it is all the "non-believers" and the "godless" and
the "atheists" and "non-theists" and "anti-theists" that are
CONSTANTLY bringing up the topic of God or Non-God, and "religion",
and almost always with total disrespect and animosity???

Why is this????
The "religious", "Godly", "Believers", "Christians" or whatever are
not starting threads on places like "alt Home Repair" titled "are
atheists really as stupid as they sound" or "are atheists dummer than
a rock" or "does one's belief in Evolution mean he's a Monkey's
Uncle?"

Why? Because THEY have repect for the beliefs or non-beliefs of others
and have enough confidence in their own beliefs they don't need to
downgrade everyone else in order to feel good about themselves.

You want respect?
Show respect.

Your comments about respect are absurd. Respect is earned among
rational people based upon people's behavior and words.

If you insist on promoting or advocating for the existence of
invisible friends, then, rational, intelligent people will harbor
little respect for you.

Additionally, if a person doesn't respect you, odds are they do not
care whether you respect them or not.

Lastly, you need to learn, there are people who "believe" or accept
without empirical evidence and then there are rational people who
demand empirical evidence to prove the existence of invisible friends.
The reason you need to resort to "believing" is because there is no
evidence and you are OK with that, which is one sign of a weak mind.

Willingness to accept such cock and bull stories, and even insist your
fairy tales are the true fairy tales and the other cock and bull
stories are fallacious, that behavior is either a sign of insanity or
of devious, malicious intent.

Keep your respect, let's just talk about facts. You know what those
are, right? Facts are assertions which can be substantiated with
empirical evidence.
