This is why I don't like debating religion

Really what point is that? That non-religious people always make claims about religion that they themselves ultimately can't support?

As for putting my money where my mouth is I wouldn't waste my time, seriously. Because you claim on one hand that religious people should quit but now you want me to convince you? Lol - Go read my many other posts on this religion if you want proof, it was already discussed.

So you're giving up?  You can't prove it, but since the other side can't prove the contrary you're just saying "Well, you can't prove there is no god, so that must mean there is a god"?  That's totally the way to gain respect. 

At least the non religious are mature enough to admit they don't know something and strive to learn more.  Religious folks think they have all the answers, and that further investigation isn't needed.  No wonder people say religion is the opiate of the masses, or that it's an archaic, occasionally barbaric belief system.  If you're stuck in the 1600's for morals, ethics, and science, it's no wonder people are critical of it.  

If you want to be taken seriously, then back up your claims.  At least the non religious people aren't actively making claims, just requiring you substantiate yours.
