There's no topic, no discussion, it's just cheap circlejerk shit. Again, Christianity/Biblicall Christianity does not work that way. We are told not to throw peals before swine. As FF pointed out this is just a cheap trick. Why would any of us 'try' if sandy is content in his miso-theism?
For the rest of you, to 'try' is to answer genuine questions you may have and provide a better clarity or a better understanding of biblical Christianity.

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.'
I don't like the way this is set up. Not because it is invalid, but because I just don't think it is in what one might call 'good faith'. You have challenged people to prove not only that you are wrong, but that they are right, which is hard to do at the best of times. I would much prefer if the challenge had been a little more pointed, like to a specific topic, than an amorphous proposition.
Perhaps make one that was a challenge to convince you of the historical accuracy of the bible? Maybe the existence of a soul? Something a little less encompassing than this. While the burden of proof is upon people trying to persuade us that something exists, we should go in steps, because it would be unpleasant if we start Gish Galloping the opposition when we know how fucking irritating it is.
I would more generally advocate that one only leave one entrance into their mind(reason), and keep the rest of it rather closed, as it is one hell of a lot easier to shovel shit in than it is to get it out.
If the evidence and reason for you to believe something isn't really any better than the reason you should believe some rural farmer from Arkansas got anally probed by interstellar visitors, then you probably shouldn't.

Wait does our flagship has 300mm cannons as well?

If it hasn't been done to death on youtube, then sandy isn't going to do a thread on it. 
Tie me kangaroo down Drich, tie me kangaroo down.
No!
Don't let the Christians deceive you. Give your heart and mind to Lord Odin, and his son Thor. If you die in battle you go to Valhalla and get 96 Valkyries! Don't let your eternity be risked by listening to the pagan Abrahamicists! Remember, the biggest lie perpetuated on the world by Loki was convincing us he doesn't exist!
