... and in my view, you are the bent fork, appealing to knowledge which you don't possess, making faith-claims which you cannot support, and pretending that you're special when in actual fact, you're a run-of-the-mill believer spouting horseshit.
Prove me wrong.

What is your intention.
Do you want God to exist?
or
Do you want him not to exist?
Would you be happy if he does exist?
or
would you be sad if he does exist?
(If this messes up, I have tried to insert a meme twice without success.)
The questions are absurd. I want scientifically-verifiable evidence. My wishes and emotions are irrelevant.
An offensive book of fables written by bronze-age goat herders contains no evidence.
- I wasn't talking to you.
- This doesn't answer my question.

- I don't just believe because the bible say's so but because of miracles.
- Because of science.
- Because of Archaeology of the Bible.
- Because of the biblical prophetical accuracy and fulfilment.
- Because of the bibles historical accuracy.
- Personal experience with God.
- Other people and my families experience of God.
- Because it give's me reason why am here.
- Because it give's me the instruction's to live.
- Because it bring's joy and happiness atheism doesn't.
- Because it gives me a reason to live.
- Because It gives you the path to heaven.
- Because It makes you realise that you are important.
- Because I want to believe.
- Because I don't want to go to hell.
- Because I know that if I have children and If don't bring them up in faith they won't be good.
- We call that indoctrination.
- And?

- What miracles? Provided you can name a few, can you demonstrate that they are miracles, and that they can't possibly be anything else?
- What scientific evidence do you have that leads you to believe in your religion?
- What archaeology?
- Do tell.
- What of those "personal experiences" of people of other faiths?
- ^
- If it makes you feel better to have a non-answer then more power to you I suppose.
- Yes, where would you be without the guidelines on how to treat your slaves and sell your daughter?
- I'm quite happy and joyful.
- Repetition, the last bastion of those with no point.
- Does it? Can you demonstrate this?
- Is that a valid reason to believe anything? What if I want to believe that I can read minds? Does that make it so?
- Stick and the carrot, eh?
- How have you come to know this? Do you know people brought up outside your faith bubble? No one needs your belief system to be good people mate.
Am not wasting time,talking with an arrogant person and after I explain,each one of them you just going to say we had this before.
