Agnostics are a subcategory of atheists, genius
Complete, 100%, textbook strawman.
Rize my spotty friend, you've got a lot of bottle trying to dismiss my statement, slightly tongue-in-cheek even though it was, as a strawman when all I have to do is dig through the first few pages of this forum to find you giving the exact same moronic example I did. However, in its absence, this should suffice,

If he appeared before me right now and started having a conversation with me, that could be a start. (post 1 of this thread)
How precisely do you think this god character works? What would he appear as? What would he have a conversation with you about? Will he give you 3 wishes? So long as he's there talking with you, he might as well do that too, right?
If you are not interested in whatever God as it may actually exist in reality might be, but rather in a strictly dogmatic version of God derived wholly from the Christian scriptures and subsequent interpretations by certain people, you are still waffling b0ll0cks, given that nowhere in the christian bible is it promised that god will personify in front of you and hold a conversation with you just to try and convince you of his existence. On the other hand, if you are even attempting to inquire genuinely about the nature of what god might
really be, then excuse the pun, god help us all.
The simple and completely pointless nature of your "cutting insights" coupled with the deliberately derogative and flippant tone of a lot of your responses leads me to believe two things: 1. you are very young and immature, 2. you probably know you're full of sh*t, you're just trying to goad people into replying to you so you can "crush them" with your "biting logic" etc. etc.
Pretty pathetic.
I'll say it again: get on with being an atheist already if that is what you are happy doing, if you are genuinely searching for god, you're doing it wrong, and might want to think about changing tact some.
