How can anyone disprove something that doesn't exist? Like, disprove that you can catch leprechauns with gold nuggets!

When they can't prove something or back up their beliefs with anything, they then turn and demand that WE disprove it somehow.
Their claims, their burden of proof. Just have to keep reminding them that.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

Very easily! Just have a ten year old boy drop his pants.

No, no, no according to the archdioceses of California that's just good clean fun, they don't count that as a priest breaking their vow. It has to be something outrageous, like a consenting woman of approximately the same age. Oh, and she has to be a geneticist.

Not to interrupt but I would just like to say that the Bible God may not exist but to say that he has not had power and influence would be wrong.
Women, just of late, have started to be equal to men and Gays are still dying and being discriminated against thanks to the interpretation that Christianity has given to Genesis.

I think an argument like that would be fairly convincing, if it was true. The lack of sources quoted in the article is a huge worry and a cursory search on the matter finds it's mostly crap and at best, heavily interpreted to fit the argument. Not a good one.

Perhaps, if you conflate correlation and causality, which I don't.

Christianity is not an original religion,it contains no new ideas. However,it's closer to the mystery religions than Egyptian beliefs.

Any claim of a causal relationship between Egyptian and Christian beliefs shows a stunning ignorance of the Egyptian pantheon and basic beliefs,starting with the Isis/Osiris/Seth/ Horus myth.
