I’m sure many people have given you reasons why your beliefs are detrimental to an advancing, civilized society, but we know you haven’t listened to them. It’s not an atheist tactic to get christians to prove there’s a god, it’s a logical request. If you claimed that you died and left your body, traveled somewhere on earth, where you watched an event happen that there would be no way of you knowing what was happening at that specific place and time, and you were able to recount those events, but gave some excuse why you couldn’t, you’d be deemed full of shit (excuse me…crap, I know how you like to focus on a word instead of an argument) You make the claim, you provide the proof. If I made a claim, that god showed me a massive natural disaster that was going to happen sometime between 2018-2022, I’d be asked to write it down specifically what/when/where. Is that not reasonable? Or is that an atheistic tactic? When it happened, I’d procure credibility, and be asked to repeat this multiple times. That would be trying to prove this ability that people claim to have, not hiding behind excuses, and making claims that can’t be disproven. Which brings me to your last sentence. Yeah, it’s impossible to prove something that is unfalsifiable. For now, I’ll stick to absence of evidence and evidence of absence, and listen and laugh at everyone’s contradicting claims of what a god says to them. You know, because your god seems to be quite inattentive to the arguments being made about him, you’d think he’d come clear up this little dilemma that we’re having on earth regarding what’s right and wrong, and what’s true and what’s false, before more people die in his name..but I guess that’s his will. Him, watching people kill is sort of his thing, I guess.
