If a person is schizophrenic then the person can tickle himself.
No, that's not true. My wife and I care for a young lady who is schizophrenic and she can not tickle herself as a matter of fact it's hard to tickle her period. Before you say she's not schizophrenic she was diagnosed when she was 30 years old and institutionalized soon after because she became uncontrollable, she also was born mentally disabled. Her overall mental age is about four to five years old.
@ Astonished, you can't even prove to me you're a decent person, your post show the truth about you.

He made the positive statement that God doesn't exist and never said anything about me proving God does exist. I can say Krishna doesn't exist because I know God does exist, (even if I can't prove it to your satisfaction) God says there are no other gods but Me. Since I know Him and I know Him not to lie I know there's no other gods. I've never tried to pressure anyone into believing, that would defeat what I believe and what Christ taught, I've known Christians who did and that just doesn't cut it. Your indoctrination statement is a slap in the face to all those great Sunday school teachers that present the Bible to children in a simple way to teach them what it says. I know many who never pressure children and do you know why, because they believe as I do, forcing a decision is not a decision for Christ thus no salvation and it could eventually end up causing them to reject the Bible and the God who gave it. I was never pressured by anyone to believe and I grew up in a old time Southern Baptist church.

If I ever made the positive statement that god does not exist, then I am sorry. I should have worded it more clearly. I don't believe god exists because I have not seen evidence of his existence. In the same way I don't believe unicorns exist because I have not seen evidence of their existence. Until I receive this evidence, I simply can't believe it. If you have the evidence present it. Otherwise, you do not know god exists, you simply believe god exists.
I accept all but your last sentence. I do have knowledge of God, I live in a relationship with Him and He has proven to me time and again he 's real, sorry if you can't accept or understand this. Everyone who comes to accept Christ into their lives as savior can know God and the NT teaches this. God's not hiding, but He want give you the personal knowledge I and other Christians have because that would be interfering in your free choice of Him. I do not believe in unicorns either and it's for the same reason you posted, that's not the same for God, I saw evidence of Him before I became a Christian.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
