I had an imaginary friend when I was a little boy. I never thought I would turn out to be a figment of someone's imagination as well. Pretty cool!
You just made my day!

What do you know - I don't exist. I'll try that on my husband when he expects me to fix him dinner. I'll just tell him I don't exist and I am a figment of his imagination.
But then again. I would argue there is no such thing as an atheist. Everyone believes in a higher power. Everyone worships (puts worth in ...) something.

There are no Jews today? That's strange. Atheists always claim to be more reasonable and rational than theists. If reason makes one to make such an unfounded statement like that, then I am glad I am a theist who worships the God of Israel.

I think it speaks volumes about the person quoted by the OP.
How utterly stupid must one be to want to argue about something you know doesn't even exist?

In all seriousness, I'd assume this atheist is taking one of two positions (or maybe a hybrid of both).
1) "Jew" defined as a religious group: if there is no God, then there can't be a chosen people. Therefore, no Jews.
2) He's taking the ridiculous stance found in Shlomo Sand's "The Invention of the Jewish People," (a best seller in Israel...for some odd reason): basically, modern Jews are all descendants of converts, thus disqualifying them as a distinct ethnic group, and the exile never happened.

I was being serious! So why write a book about a non people and a non event? Has the world really gone mad? It's like the man who tells me he doesn't believe in G_d because G-d shouldn't allow these things to happen (think about the obvious flaw in his argument!!!)

Vast majority of European Jews are. Genetic studies show less than 5% of European Jews can even link their genetics back to the semetic people, let alone one of the 12 tribes.
