History,  archaeology and common sense.

Not even that scary. I could actually hit you over the head with a squeaky hammer. With hell, the best I could do is threaten you with a picture.
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.'

Just fire up the barbie and point.

But, He found more faith in the gentiles.
So, Jesus sinned because he disobeyed his directive.  That's why he had the crap beaten out of him and got crucified and went to hell.

Fabulous 

Clap

If christianty didn’t exist
1. No relationship with God
2. No Path to heaven
3. Don’t have a true aim and purpose in life
4. No inner Peace and Joy
5. No Reconcillation
6. No Forgiveness of sins
7. No Freedom
8. Don’t have a healthy body and mind
9. No knowledge,understanding and wisdom about God and Life

Most of those don't matter, given that there is no god. The remainder are palpably false and deserve nothing more than a contemptuous snort.

Yes the women for example.

In Matthew 15, there is an incident that, at first, seems to confirm the idea that Jesus came only for the Jews. Jesus was traveling through Tyre and Sidon, a Gentile region, and “a Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, ‘Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly’” (Matthew 15:22). This Gentile woman recognized Jesus as the Messiah (“Son of David”), but “Jesus did not answer a word” (verse 23). As the woman kept up her appeals, Jesus finally responded, but His words seemed to hold little hope: “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel” (verse 24). However, the woman did not give up, and Jesus eventually granted her request, based on her “great faith”
Don't forget, Saul showed mercy even though he had been ordered to kill everyone.  God got pissed and kicked him to the curb.  Jesus disobeyed and the same thing happened to him.  God forbids people to think for themselves.  Remember what happened to Cain when he offered plants instead of a bloody sheep carcass.

And I will be responding to them all hopefully.

Wait a minute, guys. He's going to prove to us that 2 + 2 = 5. Shouldn't we at least give him a fair chance. He might be right after all. And isn't that what any theist wants, a fair chance?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

He's going to tell us that he BELIEVES that 2+2 = 5.  Big difference.

I bet the asshole thinks that 1+1+1=1, too.

RE: The Paradox of Power....
Obviously 2+2 does't = 5. It = 22.
