Exactly! Especially if we are expected to believe anything out of the Bible where angels flew around and seas were being parted. There certainly should be some empirical evidence of that!
Chad, I want to ask you a sincere question. All sarcasm and dickheadedness aside for a minute:
Why are you here on this forum? Why does it bother you so much that there are people in this world who don't believe in god? What motivates you to spend so much time here trying to convince atheists that they are ignorant and wrong?
I honestly want to know, because I have called myself an atheist for only a short 6 months or so, and never once did I feel compelled to register to a Christian message board in an attempt to tear everyone down. My first instinct was to connect with a community of people who share a world view. It felt natural.
It would feel unnatural (flowery words for an atheist, I know), to spend my time and energy trying to make a group of people with specific beliefs abandon those beliefs. What satisfaction would I get from that? I can't believe your motive is innocent; that you are genuinely worried for my immortal soul.
So, I wonder how much of a humanist you really are if you would get more of an emotional payoff from proving atheists wrong (which you will never do), than by forming lasting relationships with people who share your values and world view.
