Give us an example. I know you can! Please.
All of the unsupported supernatural assertions that he believes are true. Not woo.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

Woo is when Homer Simpson has a mental block and then spends the rest of his day wondering what's wrong and feeling an intense nagging need for closure.

That's it! I got bit!
We cannot use logic to communicate with theists. So let's fight fire with fire!
LittleRik, An astrologist, a palm reader and a water diviner all told me that they believe God is something fuzzy and unknowable! Surely you don't think that they're all full of shite, do you?
They're your brethren! How can you not trust them?
Did your phrenologist tell you not to trust them? Damn! Can't win! This is tougher than I thought!
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

I will play the person you believe I am, a "dumb redneck christian" and I will ask you things so you can answer them to me with evidence, of course. First question:
If God did not create the earth, how is it that we have an earth here and we live in it? Also, I beg, provide evidence for your claims.
To sum it up like so
Atheists: We use science, logic, reasoning and observation to understand and figure out the world around us.
Theists: We know how the world works because of this book.

That first one is more a description of skeptics. Not all atheists are skeptical; atheism only pertains to whether any gods exist.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)

Spot on. I've known atheists who took advice from newspaper horoscopes and (one) who believed Doyle's claims about Houdini.

Yeah. My wife certainly does not subscribe to my sceptical ways. She has all kinds of weird things going on. I'm sure it's no coincidence that they're almost exactly the same as her parents' superstitions/beliefs.
When push comes to shove though, she turns to me to separate the wheat from the chaff when these things start to grate on her.

If I whack your brain with an axe my guess is that your "consciousness" ( such as it is ) will vanish pretty quickly!
Son. 
I am really puzzle.
Most atheists rely heavily on science to put forward their ideas but this very science contradict you guys.
Science say that the energy can not be destroyed.
Well well son.
Energy and consciousness are the two sides of the same sheet so to think that by killing someone you can
kill his-her consciousness as well is against the very science that you guy believe in. 
See son how easy is to KILL your dogma? 
Quote:that is why sometime ago I said that a donkey can not possibly give birth to a human being.
Quote:But it seems that human beings can give birth to jackasses.
Son. 
After reading few of your post i started to believe that you are correct on this.

You know son.
These days we got a lot of fake professional.
Wouldn't you check the credentials of applicant or anyone who say that they are professional before
you employ them or deal with them.
I would that is why before i take these people seriously i make sure they are not fake.
Capish? (right?)
So before i answer your question please forward to me their credential with evidence that they are what they claim they are.
Got it son?
