Like wise God's system of proof that is offered is like a set of turn by turn instructions, in that the only way to get to God is to follow the turn by turn instructions.
Precisely. And both whether the GPS exists and whether it works are easily tested. It does, and it mostly does. The item exists, it offers clear instructions and they work for everyone almost all of the time.
God offers an incoherent book. The directions that begin with turn off your rational mind and really really want. And even so the directions don't work for everyone except those who really really want them to and are willing to ignore much failure.
GPS hypothesis pass, god hypothesis fail.
GPS Says: Go 3 blocks and turn right
God/Bible Says: Go 3 blocks, but don't go more than2 blocks then turn tight 3 times. If you turn left thou shalt surely die. (forget that 3 rights equal a left)
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
