Why is it that your "undeniable facts" are so fucking easy to deny?

I bet the Merseyside Skeptics would LOVE to investigate the truth claims of people who say they talk to jinn.

I'll go a step further and say that if the existence of jinn were to be imperically proven, it would point to Islam being at least partially true.

The problem always seems to be that ignorant bible-thumpers can't bear the thought that there is someone in the world who thinks they are full of shit about their god.

The problem is theirs, not mine.
as a christian, I agree with you...he doesn't give a shit what you think! Never read about Jesus chasing after people.

You have to feel sorry for Christians, they are constantly trying to argue the existence of the supernatural and yet constantly arguing against it at the same.

Its a very small box they are trying to fit everything into to.

No. In so many ways, no. The little predictors of that were kids with huge imaginations. Also, there is no proof that what they say happened actually happened. I certainly hope that I never become so naïve as to believe that anything that happens after staring at the sun proves a god's existence.

So I'd like to add to my answer. He'd have to be there, other witnesses, and he'd have to do something unexplainable and unimaginable. Whether it be good or bad is besides the point. He could very well be a bad god (or goddess, you know).

Of course not, he was too busy chasing a herd of swine off a cliff.

When he did try to chase after people, the locals were sympathetic, and for only the cost of three nails put the ungrateful bastard up for the weekend.

"What would convince you that a god exists?"

Impossible to say, but it apparently hasn't happened yet.
