Oh, I see.
There is no evidence.
It is rather all about refusing to accept defeat.
Right?
Right, asking me to prove a negative. Let me just ask-does this method you propose involve me having to presuppose that it does in fact work, without having to have any of it proved ahead of time? That's often what I hear from people who say they believe in this form of woo or that, it doesn't work because you don't BELIEVE it will already! I mean, why don't babies go flying off into space if they don't already believe in gravity, right? Because that's how anything sane or rational works.
Put it this way-if we had to take this to court, your ass is the one that would end up owing me whatever monetary amount I would demand for wasting my time. And it's as simple as me having to say "This person makes a claim and has no evidence." Why is it, I wonder, why in thousands of years and billions of people throughout history, not one of you has ever been able to provide one piece of physical evidence, one piece of insight unattainable by any lowly human without any kind of divine connotations, or even one piece of decency that anyone removed from the religious perspective can't have come up with on their own.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
