I used to go to school with a Russel Watts.
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.'

Exactly, Mister Sir Faith No More.

That's why you are full of shit.

Exactly the wrong way round. You have to assume an atheistic outlook in order to reason at all, including reasoning to a god. If you do not assume atheism and do not hold reality as an absolute, you have to concede that a consciousness (god) could be having you on, that you may not exist, that you live in a cartoon universe which can be altered whimsically by an entity just wishing it so. Thus without atheistic outlook you cannot rely on your faculties at all. Building on this it an atheistic outlook would include self evident propositions that existence, exists that it does so independently of my mind (or anyone else's) and that the universe is uniform. Neither of these conceptual propositions require demonstrating as there denial requires you to exist in a uniform universe. Reality is an absolute and you cannot escape it by wishing a god into existence.

Oh Captain, I can see you haven't known Christian long.

He's not going to have a fucking clue what you're talking about. You're gonna have to dumb it waaay down .... and then assume that he still won't pay any attention to it. Undecided

Any bullshit will seem absolutely true to he who is dumb enough to put it at the center of everything.

OK here goes.

Christian exists, his god does not and can not exist.
