If my atheist friends answer each argument convincingly and satisfactory, then I will voluntarily and permanently leave this board.

Dear Atheist Friend,
I want to let you know that I will not be replying to any posts from Good Friday to Resurrection Sunday for obvious reasons. I am planning on presenting on new threads, one at a time, what I will refer to as "The Seven Arguments." If my atheist friends answer each argument convincingly and satisfactory, then I will voluntarily and permanently leave this board. I am hoping the the discussion over seven arguments can be cordial, respectful, void of foul language and name calling. In the meantime, I would like to thank everyone on this board for your perspectives and sharing your views. I also am thankful for allowing a Christian like me to be here in the first place. I especially would like to thank: Esquilax, Stimbo, Minimalist, Aral Gamelon, Angry Cloud Face, Steel Curtain, Tonus, Deidre32, Chas, Kitanatos, Beccs, Brian37, Tartarus Sauce, DarkHorse, whateverist, faithnomore, and to anyone I have forgotten. I love you all in the Lord Jesus Christ and pray for you daily. Have a great weekend to you and your families.
In His Service,

Oh Rev. You piss me off, you annoy me, you make me laugh. But I don't hate you, I'm quite fond of you actually. No, it's not because of your lack of logic and critical thinking skills. It's because you genuinely believe what you do, and fight for it. It's not working, but you're feisty regardless. You little tiger!

Quite alright. Just remember, we loved you long time first. If you prefer to take it some more on other threads that is okay. We can do you here or there. And perhaps you're right about staying off God. I just got off him and I imagine He'll be sore for a while. (Frankly He wasn't that good.)

I see your post is #666...yikes

And that invalidates my point how, exactly? Ever thought of entering the Winter Olympics? Your evasions would make you a champion slalom skier.

Rev,

You're a coward who wants to hide behind a bunch of feel good woo. Yes, I said coward. You're afraid of death and are so desperate to cling to something that will give you the slightest hope of continuing your existence beyond the grave that you're willing to believe anything and won't let those beliefs be challenged. Seriously, you won't even respond to my half-joking claim that you can't be saved by jebus because he's a bastard, because that would make you examine what you really believe. Something you're obviously not willing to do. Your quote mining, cherry-picking and intellectual dishonesty might make you feel better, but it makes you look like a fraud and an asshole. You are going to die. Everyone does. You will not be re-born afterward. There is absolutely no evidence (no, your fucking buy-bull isn't evidence) that you will or anyone ever has. Embrace the harsh truth because no number of comforting lies will change it.

Grow up!

Regarding the magic coin analogy and burden of proof. An athiest believes that there is no God. Ok, the burden of proof is now on you. Prove to me there is no God.

I If I were to tell you there is cat in my garden right at this second do you believe me?

If you don't think there is a cat there provide your reasoning to support your case.

If you think there is a cat supply your reasoning.

You see without evidence you can't even support a mundane claim of something existing.
So when we are confronted with what is frankly obvious bullshit.
Is it surprising that when we find it less than convincing.

In order for Rev to defend his position honestly, any disbelief in your cat on his part would have to be a belief that there is no cat. Now it's up to him to prove it.

I"m still waiting on Rev to prove there is no Zeus.

Millions believed in the guy after all. Surely, there is something to Zeus! Many died in his service! Temples built! Prayers said! Maybe some answered! Statues, carving, documents! All testify to the power of Zeus Almighty!

And Rev cannot deny Mt. Olympus EXISTS! It's fucking HUGE!

Checkmate!
