EPTAs a fellow Christian, I find this a little condescending and disingenuous.
Also as a Christian, I must say the John the Baptist ID effort seems rather pointless and meaningless.

Until then, no thanks. I've got no problem with atheists, but the logic line you're using here is weak as shit. There is "NO WAY to prove god's existence".... then you immediately state a way that you would believe in God. protip: Stop being a dick. | ||

There was a Superman villain who was defeated only once he said his name backwards (and was transported back to another dimension), or something like that. That's what he was referring to when I mentioned your name backwards. Here's the reference, actually: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mister_Mxyzptlk No disrespect to you  | ||

There is no way that this thread will turn out well though judging from the first post... I hope it gets closed. | ||

Until then, no thanks. I didn't say the OP was right, or that you can prove the existence of the Christian god. Nobody with half a brain will argue that you can objectively prove god's existence. Even the pope won't argue that. What I said was that you're an asshole. This may blow your mind, so take a seat before you read this: you can disagree with people without being a contemptible douche bag. WHOA. | ||

I think the op is a little too optimistic and ready to jump to the conclusion that this is John the Baptist. Would be nice if it were able to be proven, but it never will. | ||

Don't try and use logic if you yourself don't understand the logical assertions of your statements I know English is not your first language in Korea, but dude please read and understand, or ask someone else who KNOWS English well before you comment. That was exactly what I was arguing. I will only believe in god once he appears before me and millions of others. Is it not a logical extension of my earlier claim that there is no way to empirically prove the existence of god? You're a funny dbag who doesn't even understand plain English or logic. LOL. | ||

Your logic is so flawlessly beautiful, you should write books on atheism, you'd make hitchens writing look like a preschoolers. XD | ||

But I really don't see this thread going anywhere as it stands. Also, in the future- zealous Athiests might want to keep their arguments to the topic at hand rather than immediately derail it. | ||
