Tegh, I could spend fifteen hundred words explaining clearly why I believe the Christian God exists; at the end of that explanation, how much time would we have spent discussing what it would take to disprove Christianity to me? Zero. Your inability to understand why I believe some thing or other is entirely irrelevant to the question of what it would take to disprove Christianity to me.

No, you did not. You said you don't know whether God or his "superfriends" exist, and that you cannot understand why I think they do. The only way such beings are examples of the Bible being inconsistent with reality is if you DO know they don't exist. Is that the case? You know they don't exist? (You know where I am going next, right? Be careful.)
