Try joining another one again and be courteous and respectful next time around. Most theist forums are not as relaxed as this forum when it comes to conduct, especially if you go in there and start attacking their faith. Go in there, and be as objective as possible. Simply ask questions and listen. I've been in a Catholic forum (Catholic Answers) and a Mormon forum (LDS.net), both of which had productive atheist discussions so long as there was mutual respect.
Why are you automatically assuming he didn't do just that?
He's looking for evidence, and personal anecdotes are the weakest form. That's why, for instance, prosecutors try to obtain as much physical evidence of a crime that they can. And when it comes to matters of religion, personal anecdotes are essentially useless. GD isn't that person. He doesn't know them. He has no reason to simply take them at their word. And even if the other people are being 100% honest about their experiences, that doesn't mean they're interpreting them right or remembering them correctly. He's right to ask for more and not simply rely on another's feel good story.
