I don't think so. By the way why are you so interested in someone proving God exist, when you can not prove He does not exist, is your conscience bothering you to the point you need to know.
Assumption's part of an argument when something is assigned to God, and it does not matter that you believe to the contrary, it is what it is.
I'll never give up what I know is the truth, even if it kills me.
That line right there is the problem I have with Christianity. You know nothing of my life, yet you assume that your's is in some way superior because you are a Christian.
I have no problem arguing from the assumption, it's when it is asserted that I believe it for doing so, that it becomes unfair.
You are the on who asserted that my life is less, because of my faith in Christ. I'm only pointing out that I was once an unbeliever, now through my faith in Christ, I stand on the other side of the fence, I know the peace that exist in my life that was not there before. I see in your responses you do not have the peace in your life that is within mine, my responses use to be like yours. I did not mean that I'm better than you, what I am saying God has made me a better person. I stand on the other side of the fence looking back (hind sight) and recognize the difference in my life, a difference that I'm grateful for, which came through Christ, it's not what I did, it's what I accepted into my life.
I would not assume that you were a believer because you would engage in an argument that assumed God's existence, I may not be the brightest apple in the barrel, I however am not stupid.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
