I'm sorry, but I didn't catch your point here. Can you explain what you're talking about?..and then also, how you can show that you have any of these tiniest details that prove your specific God? (keeping in mind, as you pointed out, that your God is incompatible with every other one) If you have the tiniest bit of evidence that proves your God is right, I'll change my position to match yours.
Given that you aren't convinced due to the lack of evidence for any of those other Gods, surely you won't have a problem with me recognizing your inability to show otherwise, and then grouping you in with the followers of every other God on that list. It's no different than the way you percieve their Gods, and how they percieve yours.
You don't think it's a bit hypocritical of you to maintain that you are right without having any evidence for your claim, and then discounting others on the same grounds?
You seem to be more bothered by people that don't believe in any Gods, and not so much the people that you think are believing in the wrong God. What difference could that make to you? Isn't believing in a God that doesn't exist the same thing as believing a God doesn't exist? At least, from your perspective? Shouldn't you be just as focused on converting them as you are about selling yours to us?
This strikes me as a bit obtuse on your part. Would you like to clarify, or have I pretty much covered it?
