You have falsely claimed that "For an atheist to claim God does not 
exist, would require of that atheist to have a perfect knowledge of 
...all things."

Since atheists have been claiming that for years, without any "perfect 
knowledge of ...all things", but merely using common sense, you are 
lying!

'common sense'???? Common sense is just..an opinion.


Are you saying an atheist claiming that God does not exist' is just an 'opinion' of theirs???


I thought those guys were soooo sure!


Their opinions don't matter. It's garbage!


Either you know or you don't know...which one is it?

That may be your opinion, but your opinions are uncommonly nonsensical.

Gods have the manners and morals of a

Why must there be only one reason?

Other possibilities:
1. The voices in your head told you to go.
2. To build a launch platform to go farther.
3. To get what one already knows to be there.
4. Pride ... I was first!
5. George Mallory: Because it's there.
6. To live in 0.38 g because 1.0 g has been soooo done.

Ask here if you want more reasons:
