I will remember that over in urc. Now about support for you claim that
your deity exists...

You should indeed remember that when in any debate. I am not claiming
that
in any debate with you. Should I do so I would, as a matter of course,
support the claim with all the evidence I have.

If you have any empirical evidence for the existence of your god it
would be instructive for us to see it and it might even persuade us to
share your beliefs.

I doubt it.

Then you're wrong.

You believe in spite of evidence.

We believe acordingto the evidence.

However, I suspect this is yet another cop out and
that your only evidence is based on your subjective experiences and
heresay.

It isnt a cop out to not argue a case that you arent arguing.

When you make baseless claims or presume your audience grants your
assumptions then you have to argue them whether you want to or not,

Anything else is intellectual dishonesty which I doubt even fools
yourself.
