Jacob Wrestles With God

[Esquilax]

Extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence.
And the most extraordinary claim I ever heard was the one atheists make.
Namely, that EVERY SINGLE instance of supernatural testimony by EVERY SINGLE human who EVER LIVED throughout the
ENTIRE COURSE OF HUMAN HISTORY are ALL false.

And would you still believe that this claim is more extraordinary than the one that we live in a universe full of magic and monsters, that all suddenly vanished when it was convenient, where deified metaphysical beings do battle in the hearts of men and the most powerful being in the universe is concerned with my sex life more than starvation, if you didn't have an ideological stake involved?

Basically, if you weren't such a complete and utter twat, would you still believe our "claim" to be the most extraordinary?

Got any evidence for that claim?

Yes: not a single one of those supernatural claims has ever, in the course of recorded history, been able to provide a shred of proof. And since the time of instantaneous, ubiquitous recording devices, no supernatural phenomena has ever, ever been recorded. Conveniently. That's the evidence I'd like to enter for that claim.

Not that it is our claim, of course. Our claim, so to speak, is merely that we don't believe those supernatural claims. We aren't denying your god, you petulant fool: we merely disbelieve until you can prove it.

The fact that you embarrass yourself by twisting into these dishonest knots rather than actually proving anything is just validation of our lack of belief in what you say.
