Well, I'm not the one making the claim that atheists are at all any more intelligent than theists. I'm AM however calling you out on your claim that atheists disregarding your unsubstantiated claims of God are automatically claiming omniscience. One does not need to be omniscient to recognize that someone else making a claim they cannot back up is probably full of shit.
I never even hinted at the automatic omniscience of atheists. You are on your own there.

First you demand answers for things that have nothing to do with the thread, then you make the accusation of me taking the position to convince you, and you also demand a whole discussion of an off topic, and then you say "put up or shut up?"
When you've made your mind up, keep talking.

It's not your point of view I'm discussing; it's the factual basis for it and the claims you're presenting.

Would it? Okay, please tell us how "Jesus" explains "God's" 'miracles'.

You want me to make your case for you? It doesn't work like that. You present what you have and I'll consider it. If I don't find it convincing, I'll explain why. Especially if this is the standard of evidence you're going with:

A personal interpretation of a cherry-picked quote from the claim =/= "fact".
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.'

Oh my goodness this thread lol
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

So you want to discuss a topic which has nothing to do with the thread...?
Mr brewer is here to discuss an off topic idea as well...
Why don't the two of you carry on, since I've leaving while there is still some semblance of the OP left.

So you have nothing. Got it.
