Huge Monetary Prize
The Dumpster
And don't go asking me to perform a miracle or any other crap, the point
isn't for me to prove that I am God, but for you to prove that I am not.
To win the HUGE cash prize the burden of proof is on you, not me.
Good luck.

That argument seems pretty solid, except it means you have to prove you
ARE God, an even more difficult task than proving I'm not it would seem
to me.
You might try blinking me out of existence....

I think that requires proof of God's demise, do you have a body
perchance? Perhaps some brain matter you can point to...in fact that
argument says you have to prove God existed in the first place...Again,
that seems to be a more difficult task you've chosen for yourself than
my original premise, but if you want to climb the south face of Everest
go right ahead...

I'm sure one of the commandments says "Thou shalt not killfile the Lord

To be honest, if all the disbelief doesn't bother me why would
killfiling me? At least that would show they believe in me.

It was a lot funnier when I thought it up. Somehow the humor just isn't
there when it got delivered. Guess it was an off day?
I was drunk? (This is not a very good excuse for anything ever, and
really it barely qualifies as an excuse even, but sometimes, when your
behavior has been totally outlandish its about the only explanation you
can give.
Take for example when you come in drunk and break a vase you say "sorry,
I was drunk", and although your spouse is still pissed that you
destroyed their priceless Ming vase they at least understand you didn't
do it intentionally, even if you picked up over your head and screamed
"I HATE THIS F-ING VASE!" and then dashed it onto the ground. You're
not forgiven, but its understood that you were temporarily possessed by
the Demon Alcohol.
Now take Stalin and his purge of the Jews, there's really nothing he can
say that will explain something so horrific.
However, if had come out and said "oh...sorry about that, I was drunk, I
don't know what I was thinking" we'd at least have some sort of
plausible excuse we could cling to, as weak as it may be.
Didn't Pontius Pilate say something like that? "Sorry, it was a passover
party, we ate too much, drank a little wine and oops, someone gets
crucified. Let's just say I was drunk and wash our hands of this whole
ugly mess.")

Proof denies faith.

Yeah, but Faith is only needed when you can't understand how something
works on your own or by doing research. Kinda like when your dad's too
embrassed to explain the facts of life so he just gives you some money
and drops you off at a brothel--Faith is a "learners' whore".

Actually quite the contrary.
As much as one has Faith, one must have Faith in something. God
requisits Faith. By not having belief requiring logical proof or
material evidence (the very definition of Faith) in the existance of
DMP, I cannot be called into Faith for him. Insomuch as a collary of
Augustinian logic, which is to say that he cannot claim to be God
because by claiming to be God he nullifies his own argument.
Faith, like quantum physics, often requires staggering amounts of
alcohol in order to understand. Probably explains why for many faiths,
part of the cerimony involves public drinking.

And that explains the tiny wheels attached to the sides of churches.
I'd actually counter that Faith is often used by those who do not wish
to do their own investigations. You know, if I were God, I'd be really
pissed about those sorts of folks. You spend all week working on the
details and these idiots refuse to even notice them. Right bunch of
bastards, they are.

I didn't say I couldn't do them, I just said I'm not going to do them on
request as part of the bet. Again that would be me proving I am God,
not you proving I'm not, don't you see the difference?
This is a rigged game though, its sort of like saying, "You can't prove
that I can't pick up that ocean liner and carry it over my head." The
burden of proof isn't on me to pick it up and prove that I *can*, the
burden of proof is on you to prove that I *can't*.....
