Religious folks: Is there anything a non-believer could say or demonstrate that could cause you not to believe?

Non-Religious folks: Short of this (God opening up the clouds and having a chat with you in person)



Is there anything that a religious person could say to convince you to believe?




So if the answer to each question is a respective no, what is the point of having a discussion?

The point of the OP is bigoted mockery. Nothing more, and nothing less. And, like clockwork, the anti-religious bigots joined in the charade - oops, I mean, PARADE...

Is Global Warming a Religion or a Science?

It requires Faith.

And no thanks, I'll pass on your Kool-Aid.
What about Nebraska Man?

Creationist Arguments: Nebraska Man

It's obvious you don't even know what evolution is or how science works. And yet the irony is you're bashing science on a computer created by science. We call that hypocrisy.

Nice attempt at diversion - and a petty insult to boot. You're a hard-left liberal, correct?

I don't know how old you are (you seem very young), but I remember Nebraska Man being taught - as settled fact - as one of the "missing link species" that proved the religion of evolution to be indisputable.

How is that crow tasting?

And you're a liberal on a computer made by the big, bad corporations!!!

See, we can all say irrelevant crap that has nothing to do with the topic.

Yes.
Leeches are used in modern medicine.
You didn't know that?

Theology is always funny. Shoehorn in an all powerful god who never shows himself, speaks or intervenes and expect others to respect it. What's not to laugh at?
