So now I know, as do you, that you have lost all right to demand evidence since you have no intentions of receiving any.
Are you even reading the posts? Nearly everyone said that they would accept evidence, but that 'God' would not be their de facto explanation for said evidence. That they would require the same standard for that evidence as they would for any other claim? And that also your particular brand of god wouldn't be the natural conclusion for any evidence for a God, save for the asinine Jesus bacterium you proposed. Aside from ridiculous hypotheses, why would it even surprise you that we (atheists) would require fantastic evidence for a fantastic claim?
So basically, what I'm reading is that you want to play the game, but you want special rules?
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
