Which is why extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. When the evidence is not produced with the PRESUMPTION that such evidence will be rejected before it is allowed to be examined, the entire train of logic is derailed.

They are caught in the web of superstition, and trapped by circular reasoning to justify the lies they’ve swallowed whole.

They all set the facade up so that they can have their fake cake, and eat it too.

That is what is so sad about the Born Againers, they give up the most precious thing they have, their life, in exchange for death.

It is no wonder that Christianity is a death cult.

They don't seem to understand that. Rather they treat doubt to their unsubstantiated claims as a claim that needs to be evidenced!!! This is scary. Doubt is justified in all cases of unsusbtanited claims. Period. This is so basic, it shouldn't even have to be mentioned unless you are addressing a bunch of adolescents. LOL.

If say there are pink unicorns on Jupiter and you as for a proof and I turn around and say "no, you prove that there aren't" you have a situation we encounter here on daily basis. It is positively asinine.

The other problem is that their "evidence" is subjective or "experiential" or "witnessed". The type of "proof" they offer would be laughed at in every court in every school in every place of work: "God told me."

Try not showing at work because "God told you" to take a day off and see how long you keep your job. Try blaming God for your behavior, and see how much the courts will buy it; "God told me."

Ok, tell us what would constitute "proof" in your eyes? All you have done so far, whenever attempts have been made to do that, is shoot them down with your very own presumptions rather than genuine examination of the evidence. So what would be suitable evidence in your view? Give a target that stays in one place long enough to hit.
