No one ever claims George Washington is still alive today, do they? And also, he's a human. We already know humans are possible. He also has much better evidence for his existence than an obviously fictional story written about him.And now you're reduced to materialism.
Quote:I assume you think God is alive today, and so it would be reasonable to expect that he could demonstrate this.Yes, and he could.
Quote:He either can't, or won't, in a way everyone can verify.He won't.

Quote:But this wild equivocation shows that further discussion is pointless.IOW, But crap, I didn't think this through, so I'm gonna take my ball and go home.
Your standard for determining whether Rob exists is to demand that he come knock on your door? Did you demand that Gaud knock on your door before believing that he exists? If not, why would you demand that from Rob?
What you seem to be claiming here (correct me if I'm wrong) is that the existence of a storybook character that supposedly talks to you all the time is and should be more believable than the existence of a human being that (if he really wanted to prove a point) could, in fact, track your ass down and knock on your door. That, sir, is folly.
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)
