That's not proof.
That's merely an expression of a contrary opinion.

No doubt.
When will that begin?

More to the point, when will you people learn to read between the lines?!

I'm not arguing for the existence of leprechauns!!!

I'm DEMONSTRATING the challenges of resolving disputes that might seem to the uninitiated to be extremely resolvable.

Guess what!!

The simple issue of the existence of god has been simmering within cultures around the globe for millennia!!
Eskimo: 'If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?'
Priest: 'No, not if you did not know.'
Eskimo: 'Then why did you tell me?'

OF COURSE!!! it seems simple to you.

Can you POSSIBLY be so simple that you think it's that simple? What do you think they think?

STARTLING INDISPUTABLE FACT:
Out of a human population of over 7 billion on Earth,
no two personal opinion are precisely the same.
They may agree on 2 + 2 = 4
FANTASTIC!!
But one may think green is the prettier color.
The other may prefer blue.
No two personal opinions are precisely the same.

And these delusions of god, and the proliferations of churches, mosques, and synagogues persist.

If it puts you at ease to disparage me, so be it.
I'm flattered that you are not merely unequipped to refute my point, but perhaps even unequipped to comprehend it.

Sincerity in that regard is a rewarding form of flattery.

I doubt if anyone thinks that Orcs are real. Have you ever heard of J.R.R. Tolkien?

That would be (il)Logicman's claims that God exists because the resurrection cannot be disproven, showing that he has no concept of buden of proof
So do you lie awake in feat of Cthulhu? Because according to you "logic" all the elder ones are real and will one day retake possession of this earth.

What does opinion have to do with determining the existence of anything?

I think we have had a lot of Frank Apisa tribute acts around here recently, I hope that he is getting royalty cheques from them.

Frank was at least somewhat coherent, even if incredibly wrong.

I do not know if Frank was coherent or if there was coherence;
I do not know if Frank was not coherent;
I see no reason to suspect Frank could not have been coherent;
I see no reason to suspect Frank must have been coherent;
I do not see enough unambiguous evidence upon which to base a meaningful guess in either direction...

...so I don't.

Oh, I'm almost nostalgic for those days.
