Can you challenge this "social proof of God"?

The proof speaks about TRUE believers - the fundamentalists, thus, they can not lie. They are like a Holy angels. Otherwise they are false believers, the false believers are not believers, because they are false.

Well, if that works for you, knock yourself out.

This deserves an enthusiastic LOL. As often as ridiculous statements are made around here, it's genuinely impressive to come up with something as innovatively ridiculous as this. 10/10. Bravo.

ok. so if i conclude that a watch were designed then i can conclude the same for human. or a flagellum.

You may conclude what ever you like. That is your prerogative. Other people may arrive at other conclusions. How we reach these different (or even the same) conclusions is also each of our prerogatives. One thing may convince you but not me. I may be convinced by something completely different. None of which means ipso facto that our conclusion is correct.

1) believers say that they have scientifically proven God. How come? By simple confession, that they are theists. Look: there is Church Dogma of the Existence of God. A dogma is, by definition, is the absolute true knowledge. It can never be changed or destroyed, as the indestructible is God.
[...]
4) Believers are forbidden to lie. False believers do lie, thus they are not believers. The proof deals only with believers and their critics.
I have a much higher opinion of the average theist than this. Most of them, in my experience, laugh at such a sad lack of logic.

Speaking to real believers, John said:
1 John 1:9-10
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.

I'm guessing, Joinfree, that in your world fundamentalists not only "can not lie," they cannot sin. John didn't seem to hold this point of view. Or maybe your comments were meant as a joke?
