"It means that a considerable amount of thought has led to the conclusion that a deity who breaks every known law and who is far more complicated and inexplicable than the stuff he's supposed to explain doesn't make sense."

Steve, you have just erected a gigantic straw man to disagree with. I'm not him. I have never been the least bit inclined to believe in the sort of bizarre deity you describe above, and you do all those people who you imagine to be "those who aren't atheists" a great discredit to reduce them in your mind to such an inglorious and unlikely stereotype. You'd find that it doesn't fit a very great many of them at all.

In short, you're engaging in hyperbole, gross stereotyping...as ludicrous itself as the grotesque, ignorant fundamentalism that you are railing against. Don't assume that people who differ from you in some element of belief (or philosophy) are all idiots who believe in fundametalist fairy tales.
