Atheist, you can feel gravity, but you can't see it?
Just like God. Don't fool yourself!

Well I don't think you're real, prove it!

You're not doing Christians any favors with your laughably weak arguments.
Unless you're trying to be ironic/satirical (via Godwin's law) and further prove that Theists fail at logic.
A person can observe the application of gravity, the same can't be said for God. Don't fool yourself.

See, the thing you're missing here, well, okay, ONE of the things you're missing here, scientific evidence aside, is that perhaps we non-believers DON'T feel god. Not to mention that technically speaking, as someone else already pointed out, we don't actually "feel" gravity. A better example would be something like cold, we can't see cold, but we can feel when it's cold.
I personally have never felt god. That would be rude if he (Or she, or it, or they) didn't give me permission to fondle them first and since "he's" never answered any of my questions, I don't feel I have right to go feeling around. I've never felt gravity either, but I've seen it in action. If god exists and is taking any sort of actions he's clearly doing a pretty crap job of it considering the state of things. Well, unless for the betterment of the rest of the universe he's intentionally destroying earth, for which I would not blame him.

Good point. However, I can test the effects of gravity in various different ways, at different times and show the results of these tests to others, thereby quantifying gravity. These tests can be made by anyone. anywhere and the results will be the same. This is where your analogy fails as you cannot quantify God, for as far as I know no-one has yet devised a test to prove (or disprove) the existence of God that can be replicated by different people at different times and lead to consistent results.

Wow, I'll bet you had to pass 2nd grade "science" to come up with that one! :)
I've got some sad news for you: I *can* see gravity (or, more properly, its effects on matter):

Might as well face facts: there's no evidence of any kind that your magical god is real. And you can't honestly say the same thing about gravity (or evolution, or the Big Bang, etc.). It's OK to still believe if you want to, but please -- at least be honest and admit there's no evidence. Isn't honesty supposed to be one of the things magic jesus liked in people?
Peace.

You can't feel god.
If gravity is an indication of a god, which one?
Don't fool yourself, 10,000 gods have been invented by humans.

Sorry, but I have never felt god. I was raised in a very religious family and as a teenager, I honestly asked god into my heart on several occasions. I have never even felt the slightest twinge of gods presence.

Unlike any god, gravity can be measured, and it's affects seen on object, thus it can be observed. Same thing with air so don't use that excuse either.

No, but you can test for it. Unlike god. Just jump off a tall building, look! Gravity! Look! SPLAT! No god.

You're very observant. About gravity of course.

God is supposed to be sapient, and should be far more obvious than gravity.
