Yeah that's true, I was meaning that statement more for somebody that was an atheist/agnostic. You're right on that this is a weaker argument for Christianity, especially if you're talking about somebody that already believes in a different religion. If I were debating the merits of Christianity with somebody of a Muslim (or different religious) faith, I wouldn't even use this point, but would rather talk about the proof that is found for the truth found in the bible.

Well, for those without a particular faith, how are your statements any more appealing than similar statements from followers of Islam, Judaism or any of the other thousands of gods that have been purported throughout our history. Difficult to choose who is actually correct when all the various representatives are equally passionate concerning their beliefs and claim to have the actual true proof. Or, perhaps after much scrutiny, it can be concluded that nobody can lay claim to the true proof and that it's pointless and futile to debate about what or who might be god and what that beings true desires might be. And, interestingly, you actually have much more in common with atheists than you probably care to believe: you just happen to be atheistic towards one less god is all. And, atheists find that the reasons you have for dismissing all other gods are just as applicable to yours as well.

Great post. No one religion has any more proof than the other that their god exists, and there is no point in debating the issue. Its all based on faith and your own personal preference for what faith you practice.
