I'll not be smirking like a bastard when you die and that is the end of you because I'll likely be dead too and that is the end.
To the guy who said:
What about if a 10 ft man with a flowing white beard, white robes and a divine aura appeared in front of you and claimed to be god?
I say:
I would think that I had just met Gandalf and look to see if he was wearing the One Ring and that was why he became evil and wanted me to worship him like a god
Actually, I'd probably throw a rock at him and run. I don't like how "white" is considered good and "black" is considered evil. I think it is what contributed to the whole racism thing (is that not obvious?) and it is a stupid notion to begin with.
I did believe in God for a while (a Christian friend and his family tried to convert me while I was like 5) but one day I just realised that he didn't exist, just like the tooth faerie, but was created by us to make us feel better about death and to scare people into following the rules. All the contradictions in the doctrine and an affinity for science helped too.
