........So, dear theists/believers, here's the deal: if you provide me enough evidence to convince me that a grand creator exists and that your religion is true, I'll convert.
Like I would care whether or not you convert or what you convert to. You're on your own. If you can't figure out how to connect, that's not my problem.

No disrespect, but I don't believe for a second that it's just a case of providing enough proof. If you haven't seen enough so far, nothing I can provide will do it. You are too closed-minded.

I agree. I was writing tongue in cheek when I said he wanted to be converted.

Agreed, on both counts.

See, I don't get that. If the OP was sincere (he's obviously not), wouldn't you want to share how the connection was made for you?

Like are you too closed-minded to see the evidence that leads us to believe that gods do not exist?
