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.
Free will. That's the reason inDelicate won't share his sure-fire evidence. Like god almighty, inDelicate wants us to come to god of our own volition. What a team they make.

Technically is the OP shoehorning a 'Ha! Atheists are just as lame as us theists!' Argument. Tu quoque in cocktail with poisoning the well...
Well, we are human.

Indeed. And like most tu quoque fallacies we see on the board every day, it's not even an accurate attempt at an accusation of hypocrisy.
Maybe it would be interesting to do a daily chart of which logical fallacies get used here the most. I would guess argument from ignorance/incredulity would be top, special pleading second, begging the question (if that counts as a fallacy) third, and tu quoque fourth.
EDIT: I forgot one. False equivocations. Those seem extremely popular.

Does that mean you haven't gone full retard on this thread yet? We have to PM you to get the full experience?

Sooo... If atheism (or "Atheism") is a religion, does that mean, that Buddhists - whose religion doesn't involve gods and is therefore atheistic - have two religions? Is that legal?

Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?
Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.

No, we're not a religion.
We're a non-prophet.

I've been thinking one should start a thread for a pledge not to feed the trolls once their troll nature has been exposed - just ignore, let them thrash and wither when they can no longer provoke you. I'd be happy to do it myself, but which forum would be appropriate for such a thread?

Not when stupid by nature, but jails are full of the willfully stupid.
Mr. Hanky loves you!

Nobody listens when you suggest it. They just keep on poking the troll.
