Yes, it does. Provide me proof for the existence of Santa Clause, and then we can have a civil conversation regarding whether something needs proof of its existence. Humanity is continually fed lies regarding so many myths, Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy, and yet you act surprised when we do not willingly accept the myth regarding God?

Good game.
Post a statistic that shows the majority of scientists in America think science proves atheism is true. You will find that 40-55% of scientists believe in God

Disregard all that science bullshit, since a majority of scientists think (all that science bullshit) isn't true.
Grammar FTW.

Can you honestly be this naive? Perhaps you are so lost in the vacuum of religiosity that consumes those more in need of comfort than intellect.
I said I'd give you $100 dollars. You think I am lying? Go back and put the post that you made in formal logic. Defend what you wrote without a one line atheist cliche.
Seriously. $100. You think I am lying? I havn't told a lie in 6 or 7 years.

Sounded like sarcasm to me. I apologize if I misunderstood.

My pastor was on a plane and he gave a man a prophetic word that the man was caught in the act of adultery and needed to repent. He demonstrated the truth of Christianity. If this pastor has the gift of prophecy, he should contact the people at the James Randi foundation, who have offered a $1 million prize to anyone who can provide evidence of the supernatural or paranormal. James Randi has offered a cash prize either personally or through his foundation for almost 50 years now. Few takers, no winners yet.

People who are sane don't suffer hallucinations unless they're taking drugs or otherwise ill. Common sense says that if you're seeing god and talking to him, you're imagining it. On the other hand, if you think you might be able to provide convincing evidence, give the Randi Foundation a call.

Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

You are a dishonest propagandist if you put the truth of Christianity, the most defining aspect of western civilization on the same level as the tooth fairy.
It is one thing to seek God, it as another to make vast, dishonest mocking claims to support an agenda.

No, it is morally wrong for any child to grow up thinking god is as real as any other myth.

Prove how it is morally wrong in formal logic.
Like this:
1. (self evident)
2. (self evident) if condition 1 then conclusion
===========
3. (conclusion)
Mr Infidel, I promised I would give you 100 dollars, I am not lying. What is holding you back? I will because I care about you.
