If you make a faith statement while claiming faith is "bunk" you have a belief system that contradicts itself.
Did I tell you that all truth can be revealed empirically? When did I say that, maybe you can find that quote for me.
I just told you that there is no ganesh and there is no yahweh in the same way that there are no fairies and leprechauns. Would you argue that you have good evidence for fairies or genesh, empirical or otherwise? It isn’t a faith statement to disbelieve magic at all.
