To explain knowledge of God

[Thumpalumpacus]

The fallacy of petitio principii, or "begging the question", is committed "when a proposition which requires proof is assumed without proof".
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begs_the_question

The 'proposition' is a method in which proof is obtained.
Again it is a receip. If one follows the receip then one gets what the receip provides, if one does not follow the receip then one can not expect to receive what the receip provides.
So no question begging here, just a strait forward question. Did you (yes or no) A/S/k as outlined in Luke 11?

You haven't addressed my issue with your argument, which is that you've stated that faith is the requirement for an answer, which is where the question-begging lays.

What makes you think it's about volume? In your search for a wife are you looking to marry every man woman and child on the planet? Or is there just one who meets the criteria you are looking for?

Jesus uses this analogy in several places. The 'one' He is looking for is the Church.

If I want to marry even one woman, I've got to show up, with a stiff'un and a little dough. Your god isn't smart enough to reckon that the skeptics that you allege he himself created might be convinced by a press conference. By not showing himself, he knows that he damns millions to Hell. But hey, flashbulbs are annoying, right? He can't be bothered.

Your little god is entirely absent. Aside from the evil attributed him in your Bible, he is unworthy of worship for that reason alone: he is AWOL.

It looks like Adam, Eve, Moses, Noah, and a host of others didn't get that memo.

Cherry-picking run amok, uprooting entire trees.

its like talking to a box of rocks...

Are you not familiar with the term 'common man?'

None of the above are considered to be common. They were all set apart from the common men of their time.

By whom? Your god? That's question-begging; we'll disregard that. By you? Why should I care one whit what you say? You clearly have no ability to explicate a coherent worldview. You can natter on about your version of Christianity, a version which you yourself have admitted isn't mainstream, and yet you cannot persuade anyone of anything beyond the fact that you're incoherent.

No, they were men, they were allegedly spoken to by your god, and you have to reinterpret your own Bible in order to support your little whack-job corner of Christianity.
