So what evidence do you want??

Oh, the run of the mill type of evidence that would convince anyone - e.g., the Big G meeting with the president and holding a world-wide broadcast news conference, or eye witness accounts by MILLIONS of people, formally of all religious persuasions, including atheists, and including myself, or all of the amputees and wheel-chair bound people on earth ALL being cured in one stroke, growing new legs, etc., etc.

I am not holding my breath, since your god, to date, seems as imaginary as the tooth fairy, the easter bunny, and santa claus. So far your god seems just an abstraction, an idea conjured up out of sheer imagination.

Anyone can "believe" anything at any time. So what? Providing convincing evidence for a claim, especially an extraordinary claim (e.g., an invisible, immaterial person or other sentient being) is another matter entirely.

As I see it, you've got nothing except a lot of words. Talk is cheap, my friend.

This just sounds like you're slightly annoyed because you personally have not seen a thing. Your world is very small.

Really? My world is "very small"? My month-long trip to Australia and New Zealand back a few years ago didn't broaden my viewpoint at all - or any of my trips over the years to places like Canada, the Caribbean, England, et. al.?

The literally thousands of people I have met and discussed various issues with in over a half century of life - all that had no effect on broadening my "very small world"?

My university degree in pharmacy and a thirty-year-long professional career, including four years as the director of a 400 million dollar government program - didn't have the slightest effect on my "little world"?

The literally thousands of books on history, philosophy, literature, science, psychology, etc. that I have read and studied and pondered upon - many of these books read before you were even born - all this effort was in vain, as my world is still very small?

And all this compared to whom - a 17 year old? Your world is SO much larger? What - are you a space alien? A schizophrenic off your meds? A member of Mensa? Damian?

This isn't even a pot/kettle/black kind of thing - YOU telling ME that my world is "very small" is like the Black Hole at the center of our galaxy telling a gamma ray to "lighten up".

:D :D
