Challenge For Theists

Theists, can you provide proof for your god's existence that can't also be used to prove the existence of other deities?

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

God is the proof of God that can't be used to proove the existence of other deities.

Think about it it's like someone asking what proof of nope/you that isn't proof of someone else? You are that proof. Why would the same not be true with God?

Again faulty logic you are pretty much saying god is because god is and god is real because i said so and a book says so. There is no way you or anyone that can prove that god is real. The child and other people like him that claim heaven is real turned out to be frauds. So the thing is you need evidence because faith is a concept ignorance its willful ignorance its a primal want of something that is logically impossible.

That's quite a long-winded way of saying no.

Why not just go with "the tomb was empty"? That's always been one of my favourites.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Nope. None of that follows. God, who's existence can't be proven is not a proof of anything, let alone of itself. Thinking in circles is not logic...

The Bible...

A Hindu's way out of this question is that all god is one (that is millions of theirs and the god's of other religions) but revered differently in different cultures. Christians and Muslims have a difficult time with this question, nonetheless.
