This attitude is ignorant, what's the point of being burdened with a proving something to you if you are not willing to listen?

Have you anything new to say, something you have not presented before ?

Seems to me you just want people to repeatedly listen to what you have to say, even if they have heard it before. But then i guess that's how indoctrination works in part. If the 'truth' of what you teach were self apparent (and a god would be able to make it such) then there would be no doubt. If all you are left with is constant repetition of arguments you have had rejected many times before, then why do you think we should listen ?
