I'm sure you believe this very strongly.
Disagree? Then present the actual evidence for any deity of your choice for critical examination. You wont, because you can't. The best you can muster is to hide behind this pointless sophomoric drivel.

The fact of the matter is that any claimant to a god specifies which god in particular of which they speak thus opening up a line of rational enquiry. In every instance thus far, the claimant has failed to meet their burden of proof for their affirmative claim.Quote:How are we defining god? How can I claim something is or isn't real without even know how that thing is defined?
You have already said you don't believe that god is real. How can you decide that without having an idea of what you are talking about?

What reasoning did you use to decide this?That is incredibly lazy thinking. Theists never claim "god is real" they claim that a particular god is real. You fail.

Bloody obviously false, given a moments thought. But you simply couldn't be bothered even expending that trivial effort, preferring instead to cling to the security blanket of your pre-ordained prejudices and BELIEFS. IOW you are a honking great big hypocrite.

I see that you believe this very strongly.
Your problem is that you think you can pontificate about what I and everyone else believes, our motivations, our rationale, everything about us. In reality, it's just a bunch of crap you made up in your head so you could feel all smug and superior.
