    If you could do one thing and you would face no consequences...

    When it comes to the supernatural, eyewitnesses have been notoriously inaccurate, so I'm not inclined to agree with you that eyewitnesses and the historical method are the proper tools for evaluating the supernatural. For example: I'm sure that you would say that the eyewitnesses for all...

    I don't know. We haven't explained it yet, and we perhaps never will. That does not make it logical to assume a supernatural cause when nothing supernatural has ever been observed and recorded scientifically.

    When did I acknowledge a supernatural first cause? All I said was that we have no way of knowing for sure whether this first cause was natural or supernatural.

    If you could do one thing and you would face no consequences...

    Yes, that's a possibility. I don't really know what happened. What's your point? Our ignorance as to what the origin of the universe is does not qualify as evidence for your belief.

    If you could do one thing and you would face no consequences...

    Yes, of course there was a first cause. This doesn't mean that it's a human-like God or even supernatural in any way, so it doesn't change the fact that you claim to have proof for your God's existence and have presented nothing of the sort. Since the first few "proofs" that you have offered...

    Not too easy. Such prophecies do, however, help a pregnant teenage girl's story when she wants to convince everyone that she's still a virgin. That wasn't even the point. The point was that you say that the proof is so obvious that I must be actively suppressing it to disbelieve, yet my...

    The Bechdel Test and Female Presence in Media

    Yeah, and the folks down the street tell me that God says that women shouldn't go out in public with their faces visible and without a male chaperone. What else is new?

    The Bechdel Test and Female Presence in Media

    I know what your beliefs are and have no desire to argue them (since that would simply descend into an apologetics argument); I was merely correcting your misconception about the feminist movement. I'm sorry that you restrict yourself to such medieval ideas of what a woman should be.

    White guilt.

    I don't think black people who got born into upper-middle class suburban families have any reason to complain about the situation they got handed in life. I do think that white people living in poor inner-city families have reason to complain about it. Lol, no. Affirmative action is a...

    If you could do one thing and you would face no consequences...

    You have no proof that Jesus fulfilled the prophecies in the OT, and even if he did, then it's fairly easy to go about fulfilling prophecies (or acting like you are fulfilling them) when you know what they are ahead of time without being God. The human thumb does not prove God; we have a solid...

    The Bechdel Test and Female Presence in Media

    Find me a single quote from a feminist philosopher declaring that women are better than men, and maybe I'll agree with you. Regardless, the vast majority of self-identifying feminists will tell you that they seek equality for women, not superiority, myself included.

    No, it doesn't.

    Ah, okay. Well I've not much interest in your banter, but I'm glad that it seems you've set your vocabulary straight.

    Ah, well, you need to explain to your God that his creation doesn't constitute proof. Concisely illustrated by the talented Zach Weiner:

    If you could do one thing and you would face no consequences...

    To the OP: I'm assuming that your constraints of the question are that it would have to be something actually possible, just with any negative consequences removed. I don't think that there's much that I want to do that either a) doesn't have legal consequences or b) I wouldn't be able to get...
