What picture? There's a picture of the Sky Daddy himself out there?

Oh, there is.

This thread.  So many not getting it.

Actually I do get the thread. You can't prove there is no god or Odin or Santa Claus, of FSM .......because you can't supply irrefutable evidence for the non-existence of something .....that does not exist.

When there is no evidence for something to exist it falls on the believers to supply the evidence that the god or Odin or whatever does exist.

However when Huggy starts bringing out the 3 corroborated untrue fabricated factoids, I have to call him on it.

A photograph of god.....common......get serious.

I've got a few photos of Santa Claus I can throw up on a website, and I'm just guessing I could find a few hundred thousand kids out there to provide eye witness accounts, about Santa Claus, and audio ..... well no problem at all.

So there must be a Santa..... HoHoHo

How about a photograph thoroughly vetted scientifically, along with eye witness testimony, and audio recordings of the same event?

That would be 3 pieces of corroborative evidence.

Can anyone provide the same for Odin? If not then it isn't exactly "potato, potaho" is it?

Can we interrogate the eye witnesses directly?

Do you have a photograph of your god (and preferably a negative, to ensure it hasn't been retouched)?

And what audio recordings are these?  I'm reasonably sure there were no analog or digital audio recorders in Biblical times.

I don't give a rat's ass about the testimony, photos or audio recordings of believers.  That's at least third-hand evidence due to the passage of time, and in any event people believe a lot of weird things for not particularly good reasons..

You don't get it, the point is can you provide the same for Odin?

Btw if you were an eye witness then you'd have no choice but to be a believer... Isn't that what you guys say? If you saw evidence you'd believe?

Odin's holy water:

Here's some eye witness testimony for you! Odin is here right now. I'll even ask him any questions you have for him. I'll get as many people as you like to verify it.

Will this be accepted, or will there be a sudden firewall of scepticism?

So how is your evidence different from the Norse evidence?  There are some old stories but no directly-observable deity.  Potato, potahto.

Laugh it up, it's not like I haven't already posted it but then you wouldn't know this since you're a straight up newb.

Proof if anything that religion wrecks the same devastation on the brain as a lifetime of hard drugs.

But that would be because they act in similar ways.

The more I learn about how religionists think the more I realise that they should be considered mentally ill.

If it were to be classified as a mental illness (and good luck getting it into the DSM), it would have to also be classified as an endemic condition because of the way it clusters in groups and its vector of transmission.  It would be more accurate to call it a sociological disease rather than a psychological one.
