Victor Stenger in his book God:The Failed Hypothesis - How Science Shows That God Does Not Exist

applies the scientific method to the Judeo-Christian-Moslem god and exposes the fairytale.

He doesn't discredit all gods; just the crazy bloodthirsty one that causes all the delays at the airport.

Agnostics can no longer use the argument from ignorance(argumentum ad ignorantiam) that absence of evidence is not evidence of of absence. Cowardly agnostism enables religion to continue as the greatest

cause of human misery.
