So you imagine a god, pretend you have a relationship with him, and consider this proof of something. Some of us need a little more than that as proof. A lot more.
So if we went to court and you presented your evidence for god, and I presented mine for the Col, you think the court would say it was a tie? I would have friends and relatives who knew him, pictures of him, all kinds of actual admittable evidence. You would have "Your honor, many people believe there is a god. I rest my case." Cause that's all you have, you know. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Might depend where the court is EB. More people in the world have heard of God than of Colonel Saunders. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

So now just hearing of god is proof he exists. Most people have heard of Santa too, I rest my case. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Oh how I wish it did. Being a human being makes one moral. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

If I called one of your real friends who I have never met just an imaginary person who you just pretend to have a relationship with, how would you respond?
That depends, is the case just to prove someone existed? So far you haven't given any evidence that I cannot give. I can't see any court saying that based on the testimony of friends and countless people who know God and the plethora of written documents claiming God exists to rule that without a doubt God does not exist. Do you think any court would support your claim that God certainly does not exist and that all these people and me are just making it up? “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

It would be on me to prove he's real, which I could easily do.
No, counselor, they CLAIM to know a god, they have yet to show any proof this god exists. You confuse your beliefs with reality, they aren't the same thing. When you claim something in court, they always want to see the evidence to back it up. That never includes dragging in another person with similar beliefs, that is only proof that you're both probably deluded. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Don't you accept authoritative written documents and historical evidence as well as personal experience? You did for Col. Sanders. What else do you need, I have given everything you have given to me to prove Col. Sanders exists. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

You did? You posted pics of god and provided testimony and DNA evidence from his known relatives? You have gods birth certificate? I missed all of that. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
