Angelo, most of us aren't strong atheists, so if your purpose here is to argue against strong atheists, it's an exercise in futility.

But hey, those windmills won't attack themselves, so have a blast.

Somehow I doubt he's going to come up with an argument that we haven't heard countless times before.

I also doubt this guy will make a difference with the other theists who have tried and failed. The problem with them is that we ask for solid, quantifiable and verfiable evidence to their claims, which they never seem to have.
Believing in fairy tales is all a matter of blind faith and their "personal experience". Unfortunately, for rational people that cannot be taken as evidence. In fact, the words "evidence" and "religion" are incompatible with each other.
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

They are the ones maintaining that their godboy was here....tramping around on earth and doing all sorts of magic tricks. How much more "empirical" do you want?
Now if the Greeks were making those claims I might agree with you.
Seems as if he decided it was too big a challenge anyway.
