I haven't worked out how to prove I don't believe in Santa Claus yet... when I work that one out I'll give you proof of my atheism
I know we got off on the wrong foot. I think I can help you out on the Santa Claus one. Just sit out multiple cameras throughout the house and record it on Christmas eve and see if a drunk strange man shows up who supposedly comes down the the chimney and wonders around your house while you are sleeping with your pistol ready to go. Git-R-Done.
Blasphemer! How dare you attempt to deny the truth of the Holy Santa with your skeptical testing!!
(You really did read that CSICOP website I sent you to, didn't you?)
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
