words:

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.

I doubt that.

You believe in spite of evidence.

Wrong.

We believe acordingto the evidence.

Surely you lack a belief according to 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,

I havent made any claims. And I never *have* to do any such thing.

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

Well you would know all about dishonesty but I doubt whether you would
qualify for intellectual dishonesty.
