I'm not sure that your priest friend has really done you any favours here. Sound like he is manipulating you for his own purposes.

You do have a mind of your own right?

Wrong.


Is The Iliad all the evidence you need for Apollo and Zeus?

Poe sense still tingling... or I really want to think that nobody could be this brainwashed.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

No....it doesn't. Undecided

Humans are fully capable of producing some rather large and unique books all on their own.

So no, the bible is not evidence. It does not prove the existence of god or gods. Try again.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

You did not answer the question, though. Which is not a surprise.

Let's see.....I'll bet that your priest pal told you he was a very holy and clever man and you, being obviously the gullible sort, fell for it hook line and sinker.
Don't feel bad - they've been peddling such holy horseshit for centuries and you are not the first to be suckered.

I never had drugs. I still have my wife, at least for the time being and I've happily given all the money I don't need away as Jesus said I should do.
