@Thomas,
Quote:I can provide evidence that god stories, much like unicorn stories, pixie stories, and fairy tales, are made up. I have asked believers in the tooth fairy and various gods to provide me their evidence, have examined it, and have found it wanting.
Well, I am here to declare a victor for all the believers out there...Show me with physical proof that God stories.....are made up? How could they possibly be made up, if you currently acknowledge that these stories exist, in order for you to acknowledge that you simply do not believe that they are factual?
Oh!!! You mean these stories factual exist...but it is your own opinions or beliefs as to why you do not personally agree with what they say or claim? Well hell...I have never thought of that before...while I was asking others to provide proof for me...Since the physical proof...the stories, already exist...but it is what I believe about them, that is the distinctive differential?...(Sarcasm) I agree with you...
Quote:I can provide evidence that god stories....
No, you can't...what is ones evidence...is not another's...You can not provide evidence other than what you personally believe...don't let anyone ever try to convince you of something that is not yourself...and don't ever be quick to accept something as valid or potential...if it is not your own thinking...you have no obligation to ever agree with anyone...and your own thinking is what makes you, you...that no one else could change...don't be so quick to discard, or discredit it...

Much like...how could you validate those 2 words for anyone else but your own thinking?
You think you personally can show me evidence to convince me that God stories are made up? Like you already believe? Cool...I am glad to hear your own thinking...I will be willing to hear, and see this evidence, and see if it personally convinces me...though I have high notions that it will not...
