How long will this discussion last? Bets, anyone? I say 14 pages, because the atheists here tend to beat around the bush in their debates.

Anyone taking bets on how long it'll be before the usual suspects - Josephus, Pliny Jr, Suetonius, Tacitus etc - show up?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I'm seeing a lot of assumption with no sources/explanations to back it up.
