Thanks, you could have just said no.

—Thanks, you could have just said no.—

I wasn’t being rude, I had just already said it. And I did not say no.

This is what I said in post 64 that I was referring to:

I’ve actually, when arguing with atheists/agnostics, challenged them to pray something like this: “God, if you are even real, show yourself to me as I read this.” and then read John.

I explain to them that they must be sincerely seeking the truth about God or it is a futile exercise. I was an intellectual agnostic. Nobody can be intellectually convinced of the veracity of the story of Jesus and His sacrifice, but if one is a worshiper of their own intellect, that intellect can get in the way.

They are not Christian when they say that prayer.
