12. And where exactly is that certainty

and why is it unjustified? (The fact that you find any of his statements offensive is irrelevant to their validity, btw).

Here's what Myers actually said in that essay:

The central, fundamental question is whether anyone has any reasonable evidence for the existence of any gods, especially the gods that everyone is so busy propitiating. You haven't got any? Then we'll continue pointing out that you're chasing leprechauns, no matter how annoying you find it. It's the truth. Argue against that with evidence — anything else is fluff and noise.

Tell me which part of that you have a problem with.
