There is no possibility that He does not exist, can I prove this in a way that will satisfy you, no, but that is not my fault I have given to you some of the things I know of God yet you reject them, the burden falls on you.Yes on the other hand you could stop whining, displaying breathtaking arrogance in claiming to know things that you cannot possibly know, and advance an argument for the existence of a said diety that doesn't appeal to belief, ignorance, incredulity, personal experience, bare assertions or some other motif which basically states "I am right, because I said so".
As a strong atheist I share a burden of proof, which I try to meet. I know I don't meet it, and that i cannot disprove god, esp. given a lot brighter folks than me have tried and failed. But I find atheistic arguments too compelling and the theistic ones too desperately weak to sit on the fence. You see it's not what we can prove but what we are justified in believing. I claim there is no god on that basis and try to make my case. But yours is the positive claim and attracts a slightly higher burden and you have not met it, which is probably the reason that you cannot 'satisfy' me as to the existence of a god; in your case Jesus. In my original response I stated that you left no room whatsoever for you to be wrong...GC look at your response and see the irony of it. So stop being pathetic, man up and make a case for god (Jesus). If you are just going to whine going boohoo poor me I cannot convince the atheists and they are being mean to me, don't bother responding.
