       You believe it's possible there's no God associated with Earth. You can't   
   imagine any way that there truly could be. That means the only possible belief   
   you "can" have is that there is no God associated with Earth. Why you're   
   ashamed   
   of that instead of at least proud enough to admit it and try to defend it is   
   all   
   that's in question about it.

       It would be stupid to demand it which is what I said. The reason it would   
   be   
   stupid to demand it is because he's OBVIOUSLY NOT GOING TO provide it whether   
   he   
   exists or not. Since you're trying to pretend you consider the possibility that   
   he does, and he's OBVIOUSLY NOT GOING TO provide it if he does, that's why it   
   makes you extremely stupid IF you consider the possibility that he does.

       You can't imagine WHY God SHOULD provided verifiable evidence of his   
   existence if he exists, or even pretend that you can.

       WHY "should" there?   
      
   >It's a serious character flaw to believe in things for which

       There is evidence but you just don't happen to like it. That's a starting   
   line you can't get as "far" as.

       That's a lie every time you tell it. You need to try to explain what you   
   think you think you're trying to talk about before anyone possibly COULD have   
   any respect for your childlike demands, and even IF you did that it still might   
   very well not be respectable. And in fact we have PROOF of that by your demands   
   about regrowing limbs on amputees which has been your ONLY real attempt and   
   it's   
   completely unrespectable.

       If there is a God associated with Earth and will provide a nice afterlife   
   for some beings, he's also making it plainly obvious that he doesn't want to do   
   so for every human that ever lives. That's another easy basic starting line you   
   can't get as "far" as. In fact it's one of the easiest and most obvious.

       Well, plenty of people understand it. My dad explained it to me when I was   
   in about second grade and I remember the example. We were at a full service   
   service station getting gas. My dad told the attendant that he wanted him to   
   fill it up. His example was the attendant had faith that he didn't need to tell   
   my dad: "You'll have to pay for that". There are many MANY more examples too,   
   even if you can't comprehend a single one of them

       You again can't even pretend to have a respectable point with your stupid

       What particular "sanity" would you like people to think you think you're   
   trying to refer to, can you say?
