Christian:  God has revealed himself to me.

Atheist:  How do you know it's God who revealed himself to you?

Christian:  I just know it's God.

Atheist:  Can you prove it?

Christian:  No.  You weren't there to experience it with me.

Atheist:  Well, I don't believe it.  If he comes to me and convinces me personally, or if you come up with concrete scientific evidence, then I might believe he exists.  I still might not follow him though.  Your God isn't even nice.

Christian:  All I can say is that when God reveals himself to you then you know it's God.

This looked like satire to me, until I realized this was written by Lek.
