The reason I'm no longer a Christian is because I committed the unforgivable sin: I put these claims to the test. There was no answer. No fire from on high to consume the altar. No dove descending from the heavens. No whisper on the wind. Just confirmation bias.
Try to survive on faith and you'll starve quickly. Trying to convince me that your beliefs are true is just going to annoy us both. Mission accomplished.
Trust me, I do know where to find you. Until I go looking for you, leave us alone.
As someone who was raised in a Calvinistic Baptist sect I second this in the strongest possible terms. If satan himself turned up at my old church the faithful would fall down and worship at his feet because they couldn't tell the difference between him and their god.
