So let's have some compassion. This poster is unhappy, feels neglected and insignificant, annoyed, and needs to get rid of dependency on religion.
You are too good! (And having way too much fun! )

I need to spread some reps around first ... you know the drill.

Thanks, mordant, for speaking of placentas. It gives me an excuse to post one of my all-time favourite tunes and without doubt - THE best song ever that has the word "placenta" in its lyrics.

Turn up your speakers and enjoy.

Show me where I have ever made a claim to you which I did not back up with the arguments, evidence, data and reasoning on which the claim was based?

And for each one (you will find none) I will show you TEN times I have asked you to back up something you claimed and you either retreated, ignored the query, lied, misrepresented the question, or claimed you have TONS of evidence but you simply do not want to offer it.

You build up this narrative that the atheists you loath so much do not answer your questions, where the reality outside your contrived agenda driven narrative is that the only person guilty of this is YOU. You. And you alone.

Yeah I can. It translates to "I have NO evidence to back up a single assertion I make, so I will merely insult and deride you instead".

Try it sometime. For example you claim it is a fact there is a god. Back it up. You claim it as a fact that the Bible describes actual historical events. Back it up.

Come on. Just once. This. One. Time.

Unless I possess the supreme knowledge of the universe then sure, it is only intellectually honest to be open to the extremely remote possibility that the God of the Bible is a deception. Kinda like being open to the possibility that your family members could murder you in your sleep. But I'll confidently go with the belief system that has the heaviest weight of evidence behind it which is Christianity.

^ Evidence I do not suppose you plan to offer us today, like you never do any other day? Or will today be the day you tell us what it actually is for the first time ever?

Really? You don't claim that Allah does not exist? Why aren't you a Muslim then??
