Yes, exactly. Christians plot to decieve people with their illogical claims. Thankfully you understand this and can accept that christians are evil people who cannot account for their beliefs and still manipulate kids into believing these harmful ideas that hinder them from understanding and accepting reality.

Oh, what evil minds did plot to deceive all these people?
Are you saying that you can demonstrate the validity of christian claims?

Just to make sure I understand what you're saying.
So, suddenly man appeared on earth, and there was a Christian among them. This Christian deceived all atheists, and all converted atheists are now deceiving more atheists. Nowadays, on earth, there a children born so in tune with reality that they know their religious parents are deceiving them. And now they must kill all these deceivers and cleanse the planet since they are so brainwashed there is no more hope for them?
If you can demonstrate that christian claims are valid, i would have no choice but to accept it, and i would certainly become a born again christian.

Why? Are you interested in becoming one? If you have to believe them they all found God by themselves.

You are being given the chance to demonstrate the validity of your beliefs. It shouldn’t be that hard. Something convinced you. It must have been very compelling. Certainly something more than just a feeling right? You wouldn’t just shape your entire world view based on some feelings right? Not when we know that human emotions are so unreliable?

it wouldn't matter anyhow.
or, you could just be honest and say that you cannot demonstrate the validity of christian claims.

How are your beliefs validated? You could share this and change the world.

My beliefs are validated, I don't need your approval.
But, you do have some right?

when you haven't found any evidence of God for yourself by now, nobody will be able to present any to you.
You are demonstrating why christians cannot be trusted. You are too reluctant to enter a discussion about the validity of your claims, and you are avoiding any explanations that would put your position in a bad light. Both of these points demonstrate that you have a weak grasp of the position that you are arguing for, and that you accept these points with no logical way of demonstrating why you accept them.
