There is no point in anybody taking part in this 'experiment'. It is flawed in its hypothesis.
1st of all
2nd
Hypothesis uses circular reasoning so no reasonable answer can be given. (Jesus is the son of god because the bible says so and the bible is true because it says it in the bible)
3rd
Hypothesis is provocative.
Even if this was real reasonable research your data would be extremely flawed. You are using a public atheist forum which would show strong demand characteristics. The responses of tally points is also clearly to provoke a reaction to bias the research.
Thats my initial view of this 'experiment'
Conclusion - Experiment failed

No professing atheist can confess there is no God; followed by the statement “Jesus Christ walked the earth, and is the Son of God”.

Giving me only a more solid foundation in His existence. Thank you for your participation.Irrelevant. also provocative. You are targeting atheists while asserting your beliefs in god. Unethical again.
