It'd be a damn sight more convincing than some elaborate plan of impregnating a virgin in the middle east and mind controlling the offspring to spread some hippy message of love before being sacrificed for all of humanity and then supposedly being resurrected but no one really saw it but we have to 'believe' blah blah blah bollocks bollocks bollocks.

There's better ways to communicate the message across than what god's apparently tried, and if I can think of a few then he's either deliberately being vague, he's shit at communicating, or, maybe, just maybe, HE DOESN'T FUCKING EXIST AND IT'S ALL A LOAD OF SHIT.

Our finite minds certainly don't know better than God. God didn't ask our input on how to do things.

Remarkably merciful, the Lord allows sinners to repent even after insulting Him.

People are dispossessed from the land and end up living in garbage dumps.

Russia spends tens of billions on the Olympics, America spends hundreds of billions on defense, the avg. person in the world makes $3/day. Yep, we advanced.

The Beatles were more popular than Jesus. And they actually exist(ed).

And what did you think was a "miracle?"

If I explained you would either not believe me or mock me.

My bet is that it doesn't involve an amputee whose limbs regenerated.

You must have forgotten where the burden of proof lies. Sorry but your attempts to connect the dots between reality and this imagination of yours is a hopeless endeavor. Even you Christians proudly admit, thoughts and words fail to convey God...precisely as we would expect from a primitive fantasy founded on pretzel logic.

Creation itself testifies that there is a God.

No.

I know better than "God". I know that owning another human being as property is wrong. I know that the stars are not merely lamps attached to the sky. I know that sterilising the planet with a flood and then reseeding all the lifeforms you just wiped out is not an effective method of eradicating 'evil'; especially for an entity usually defined as infinitely powerful.

Pity, because going by the mythology the character would seriously have benefitted from some competent advice.

Yet the grassroots faithful are so thin-skinned that they're programmed to see offence everywhere and apply what they pass off as condign action to silence critics. It's almost as if this "God" has all the power of the nonexistent and can't even take offence by itself, isn't it?

Isn't that what you're expected to expose yourself to, though? The Martyr Card and all that?

Fine. Now demonstrate that and support the testimony. I'll start you off: which god?
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.'

Hey revs:

You say "God is righteous, man is not"

I say God is fictional, humanity is not.
