Atheists don't realize asking for evidence of God is a strawman

Actually it does, they call it the "muggles" or something I don't remember but the claim they make is in a fiction context (because Harry Potter only claims its fiction) so it's fine to criticize it in that context. The claims Bible makes is in a religious context so it's fine to criticize it in that context. If you criticize it in any other context it is just silly, you're saying you can criticize a religious book in a scientific context and prove it is false, some other guy will claim he can prove that science is wrong when it says a spider bite "doesn't make you spiderman" in a comic book context. See where I'm getting? If you remove the context and criticize something in the context of something else EVERYTHING can be shown as false.

Wow.  Just wow. So is anything about your newly-found religion actually true in reality?
