I'm sorry, I'll take this to PM so as not to unnecessarily burden the thread with my intended discussion.

I get dozens of responses per post I make, on average, and most are not worth responding to. PMing me will ensure I give you my full attention.

Funny, I thought the same about your post too.

Since I can tell we're gonna be the best of friends, Can I interest you in an informative pamphlet?
Enjoy!

No, atheism isn't a religion.

Thanks for playing.

Oh goody!  Send me some real evidence, i.e. evidence that makes the god hypothesis more likely than not.  Um?  Why is a PM required for that.  If there really is evidence, lets see it.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Sorry, but if you have real evidence to support your god claim, you should make it public. 

Why keep it private on PM? So you can claim victory, without the rest of us seeing what really happened?

Why not open a thread and present your evidence, or better yet, challenge someone to a formal debate? That way, only one person will be responding to your claims, so you won't have to keep track of everyone that is responding on normal threads.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

Because, they want them in private so nobody else can see them try to pick one off from the herd. Been at this 14 years and seen it many times. They hope to get a newbie atheist. Hide their flawed arguments from seasoned long time debaters. If they make an argument in public the newer ones to being atheists will see our arguments as well and they won't be so easily fooled.

The evidence is so overwhelming it would cause the internet to cease, You can't very well expect him to just share that titanium bullet to non belief he has just willy nilly.
