Challenge For Theists

Whoever said that they did? I just followed your logic.

Actually your not.

Your committing a formal fallacy:

Affirming the consequent – the antecedent in an indicative conditional is claimed to be true because the consequent is true; if A, then B; B, therefore A.[8]

I'm not? If I'm not mistaken, you said that God is the proof of his existence. So his inexistence is also the proof for itself.

Also, you're wrong and the proof is the fact that you're wrong. That's what your logic sounds like.

Sounds about right for Drich.

Even if there were a plurality of gods, demi-gods, and lesser deities, there could still only be one All, or Supreme Being.

Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mindbogglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen it to see it as a final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God.
The argument goes something like this: "I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
"But," says Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED."
"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.

If someone asked me to prove that I am the real Nope, I would show them identification forms like my birth certificate and drivers license. My husband and I have been married 26 years so he would be my character witness. I have multiple friends and family who could vouch for my being the real deal. Also, a DNA test would be the final proof.

You've got it easier than the rest of us, though. You can always ask a person "do you know who I am?" Then they respond "nope" and you have your verification!

[...]
I have continually said if one seeks God as He commands He will show up. In that one has proof of God.

Or perhaps proof of mental illness. Or chemical intoxication. Or a dream. How could you ever tell the difference?

Basically, what you seem to be saying, is that the only way to obtain a proof of god is brain malfunction, or supernatural intervention. Which means this "proof" can't be shared, is useless in a rational discussion and so you may just as well keep it to yourself. Just on the off-chance, that instead of god's grace, you experienced a mental breakdown at some point and now you're simply working under false assumptions, spreading wrong "information" and interfering with any potential "real" God's actual plan. Don't worry - Jesus will get to everyone, eventually. Santa does...

[Nope]

Although I am not certain why there would have to be one Supreme Being, your argument at least makes some sense and isn't circular. Thank you.

I said proof of God lies with in God. If you seek God as He is instructs at some point in your existence you will indeed see Him.

I do not deny that Other religions have something fueling them. Religious People are not as stupid as most atheist say they are. If their was nothing behind a religious belief then that belief would die. That said, not all beliefs are correct. Many were created to mislead and to pander to what people want.

Hindus and other faiths also 'experience' their god. They would use the exact argument that you are using.

"If you seek Vishnu as he instructs at some point in your existence you will indeed see him."

What you are arguing works for all other faiths also. That is my point. Can you come up with an argument that only applies to your god.

As for the rest of your quote, when have I ever said that religious people are stupid? Religion serves emotional needs in some people, including you.

So, what do you think is behind the Hindu faith? There have been Hindus who have died rather than convert to Islam so they must believe their religion is correct every bit as passionately as you do.

I said proof of God lies with in God. If you seek God as He is instructs at some point in your existence you will indeed see Him.

So, you were asked for proof of god, and you decide to bray "the proof of god is god!" and yet you have the astounding gall to accuse someone else of committing a fallacy?
