I was referring to Drich in his Evolution thread. Who claimed to have proof, but demanded we tell him exactly what kind of proof we wanted, before he would show it. It never appeared.

Everything I've seen from you is generally well considered even if I don't necessarily agree. So heckles down Smile
Self-authenticating private evidence is useless, because it is indistinguishable from the illusion of it. ― Kel, Kelosophy Blog

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
The f**king janitor or the dude who runs the waterslide. Throughout history every mystery. Ever solved has turned out to be. Not Magic.

At 21 years of age I have no intentions of playing stupid name-calling games and beating people over the head with silly arguments. I want to have a proper discussion with a theist and learn about their reasons for believing. Of course being a free thinker means I'll challenge their view in whatever way I see fit, but more than anything I want to understand better those people that aren't just believers because their parents made them believe.

RE: EVIDENCE
An "intelligent conversation" about fairies will eventually fall to evidence any time someone is claiming that they exist, period. Cry me a river.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Point taken. Not a big advocate of people who do not challenge their own beliefs either, which btw is why I decided to participate in these forums.
