If not you, then who?

Clever, but it's my question...I can't provide the answer too!

No I said the tooth fairy doesn't exist, to ask why she doesn't is irrelevant, God is not a myth, He's real if you don't believe in Him or not
God is a myth. Nothing more. Just as the tooth fairy. Nothing more.
Allah is a myth. Nothing more. Of the same reason.
Heile Selassi however is not a myth, he was a real person. As was Jesus. Of the same reason.

The problem with both suggestions is that they both presuppose the said thing that we are supposed to ask actually exists -an assumption that cannot be given any credence in the form of evidence (mere stories or scriptures doesn’t count as real evidence) or logical reasoning.

You can live a completely moral life and not be a religious person. Get that into your head and you'll be much better off.
