Similar to how dark matter is detected by inferrence, I can not prove that God exists directly. I have cited indicative evidence that points to something. Whether that be God, Baal, Shiva or a pink unicorn I don't know. I characterize it, from my experience, as God. I don't think we have an equitable, reliable way to objectively test for that inferrence yet much less what that inferrence points to. As I believe God to be a personal God, it would be up to the individual to find that evidence on their own. And I'm fine that some aren't inerested in finding that evidence, or have looked and found none.
However, my point was that there are some atheists that are asking for material evidence for an immaterial god. I didn't specify you, as I can't recall you doing that. I was pointing out that that is odd is all.[/derailment]
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
