Right...
The proof of Obama being president is Obama as president.
To someone in a lost Amazonian tribe Obama is just as invisible and intangible and therefore completely intangible to the 'reality' they have created for themselves.
How presumptuous is it to assume that your life experience is completely representative of all this universe has to offer? You compared to the rest of the universe are stuck in your own little world/your own isolated tribe, and yet you claim to speak as if you had access to all of it.
The best thing you could say is your methods of collecting and vetting data does not include a way to document God.
The difference is that if the Amazons sincerely question Barak Obama's existence, there is a Barak Obama we could potentially physically show them, whereas the question of your God's existence always has to be answered by guys like you pointing at a funny spot on the wall and shouting "EVIDENCE!"
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
