Christian Reasoning And Excuses

About 4 days ago, a religious missionary group had approached me outside of Wal-Mart. One of the men come up to me and started to tell me that Jesus loves me. I did not want to hear about his imaginary friend, so I kindly told him that I am an Atheist and I do not believe in god. I went inside, got my items and as I was walking out of the store, the same man approached me and asked me what makes me an Atheist. He had a very ignorant tone in his voice. So I turned around and asked him what makes him a christian? And what makes him so sure that god is real? He started to give me quotes from the bible. I interrupted him and said to put the bible to the side for one second. "You are trying to convince me to believe in your imaginary friend, and the only tool or basis that you can give me is a book." he didn't say anything. just stared at me. I continued "How do you know for sure that everything in that book is true?" "How do you know that it isn't just like The Lord Of The Rings?" He tried again to feed me more bible verses, saying that I must believe and repent. I stopped him again. I said "This is you one chance, If you can PROVE that god is real, without using the bible, then I will convert right now." He then said that if I just believed in god then I would know....

I am saying this from experience. Less than 5 years ago, I was a full blown christian. I read the bible everyday. Prayed. Went to church. And confessed my "sins". The entire time I never had any religious experience, or even felt different. It was when I started to think logically about life, is when I realized that there is no god. Religion is a superstition. Just like the old saying "If you step on the crack, you will break your mothers back." The Point that I am getting at is that even christians know that they cannot prove there is a god but yet they want you to believe in "him". The only proof that they will give you is nonsense like "look around you, god is everywhere" or "see the purity in a baby's face" and the most famous cop out "You cannot prove there is a god, you must have faith". There is no proof and never will. God is just as real as the unicorns and leprechauns.
