The atheists have nothing to prove; they are not attempting to prove anything. That's why they are showing no proofs. This is (to borrow a term from our erstwhile western colonial cousins) 'Burden Of Proof 101'.
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.'

No matter how much you piss and whine, your attempts to shift the burden of proof will remain futile. You see, only the people making claims need to show proofs, and so far, you're the only one making claims here. No one's trying to one-up you intellectually by playing the "prove it" game. We're just trying to get you provide your evidence behind these fantastical claims you're making, but the more you refuse and insist on resorting to hand-waving and ad hominems, the more it looks like you have absolutely no idea what the words you use even mean.

Shit, man. This is like, logic for 5 year olds here. What the hell is wrong with you? the atheists are showing no proofs, losing credibility really fast and furious. atheists intellectuals is a misnomer, but you're probably doing the best you can, so i accept you have no proofs and thats okay.
Are you educationally sub-normal diptshit?
Just to quote for posterity, the above clearly shows that you have no idea about what you're talking about.
You talk of us losing credibility, well? At least we've got some eh?
You're not very good at this whole argue your point thing are you?

seems to me, the atheists as group need to do some work on their survival instincts. death is an enemy to be railed against; no reason to allow it to put a kibosh on future plans.

Is there any real conversation with christians who actually want to have a discussion with both parties minds being open?
I am new, and this is the first thread I've read, but I've been on enough forums to be able to spot a troll when I see one; and this thread has nothing but xian trolls.
Should I waste my time reading other threads, or are they pretty much all fucked up by these assholes?
Thanks
you really aren't as important as you think you are.
I'm sorry, who the fuck are you again?

Depends on the mood.

Have you read all the supposed proof atheist throw around this place.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

What specifically had you in mind? I wouldn't wish to miss something important. Generally, the only times I've seen atheists "throw around" 'proof', supposed or otherwise, it's been in response to some theist assertion or other.
